Commercial Disputes
Get in touch today
Bellevue Law’s Commercial Disputes team has a track record of successfully guiding clients to resolve a wide range of legal disputes.
We do this by focussing on clients’ commercial goals, creating strategies to achieve these pragmatically and cost-effectively, and providing clear advice on merits and risks, timeframes and costs, thereby empowering clients to make informed choices.
We are a B Corp-certified boutique law firm fielding a team of partner-level specialist disputes lawyers with backgrounds in magic circle and leading City and international law firms. This unique blend enables us to offer both the highest standards of technical and strategic advice and holistic, empathetic service during a sometimes-stressful experience.
Award-winning service as standard
At Bellevue Law, our commercial disputes team doesn’t just solve problems: we’re often the first call when things start to unravel. Most of our clients come to us the old-fashioned way: recommended by those who’ve been through the wringer, worked with us and emerged better off. We act for businesses, directors and shareholders navigating high-stakes disputes, and we do it with clarity, candour and a very sharp legal toolkit.
Since launching our client satisfaction survey in 2018, we’ve consistently scored over 9 out of 10 for “likelihood to recommend”—and in 2024, our Net Promoter Score hit +94. We were also recognised by The Legal 500 as a Leading Firm for Client Satisfaction, placing us among the UK’s top 10% of firms. That’s no accident. We listen carefully, act strategically, and speak human—because in commercial litigation, clarity is power.
How we can help you
Technical and strategic expertise
Our commercial disputes lawyers have the skills and experience to support clients in navigating technically and factually complex and high-value disputes.
Recent matters on which we have advised and represented clients include a multi-million pound breach of contract dispute; multi-million US dollar international arbitrations; a LIBOR manipulation claim; High Court litigation relating to alleged breaches of confidentiality and privilege; a complex multi-jurisdictional dispute involving allegations of fraud and deceit; shareholder disputes; and defending former directors of an insolvent business against allegations of breach of duty made by the company’s liquidators.
Our clients include businesses of all sizes, from small enterprises to multinational corporations, as well as high-net-worth individuals, professionals, founders, shareholders and professional services firms. As a certified B-Corp, many of our clients are purpose-driven businesses.

Value-focussed support
However, our innovative business model also enables us to advise and support clients facing mid-value commercial disputes strategically and cost-effectively.
In these cases, one of our senior disputes lawyers typically partners with the client to handle all aspects of the dispute, from providing advice on the merits and strategy to preparing correspondence and handling negotiations, cost-effectively and without duplication.
We are often able to support clients to achieve swift commercial resolution of such claims, enabling the parties to draw a line under the issue and avoid the delay, expense and uncertainty of lengthy legal proceedings.
As a result, over the past decade, colleagues at over 25 of the largest UK and US law firms have trusted us to support their valued clients and contacts, providing cost-effective advice and representation without compromising standards of advice or service.
