In the current economic climate suing customers or suppliers for unpaid invoices or breach of contract is a stream of revenue that you cannot afford to ignore.
Hatchers leads the way in low cost litigation
Hatchers Solicitors of Shrewsbury have become one of the first law firms in Shropshire to offer a range of low-cost litigation funding arrangements to businesses.
The firm believes this facility will be a vital aid to businesses who wish to resolve commercial disputes but have previously been fearful of the legal costs involved.
Richard Kerry, who heads the commercial litigation team at Hatchers, said: “In the current economic climate suing customers or suppliers for unpaid invoices or breach of contract is a stream of revenue which you cannot afford to ignore. Certainly, the number of such disputes we handle is increasing.
“Hatchers are now offering their clients a range of affordable, reduced-risk ways to resolve disputes up to and including court hearings. We believe that these new funding arrangements will revolutionise the way commercial litigation costs are covered.
“Hatchers provide a variety of bespoke, low-cost funding schemes that can reduce a business’s legal costs to a fraction of what they would normally have to pay and eliminate any risk of them having to pay an opponent’s legal costs,” Richard explained.
He said: “This type of funding is invaluable to businesses as they can commence litigation in the knowledge that there is very little financial risk involved for them. In addition, by purchasing ‘after the event insurance’, claimants can cover the cost of an opponent’s legal costs in the event of an unsuccessful claim.”
Hatchers can also act on a no-win, no fee basis for businesses who are in dispute with a professional adviser.
“Although no-win, no-fee is widely used for personal injury matters, we are one of the few law firms in the region offering this facility for professional negligence litigation,” said Richard, who is a member of the Professional Negligence Association and has nearly 15 years experience in this area of the law.
“I would be very happy to speak to anyone who wishes to discuss commencing commercial litigation on an affordable funding or no-win, no-fee basis.”
