Commercial Litigation
Gosschalks has vast experience in high value and complex litigation.
We act on behalf of local, national and international clients in relation to a wide range of commercial disputes arising out of commercial transactions or commercial contracts.
We are recommended by the Legal Directories for the quality of our advice and depth of expertise in the following terms:
Chambers & Partners 2008 Edition
“Gosschalks is applauded by sources for being “great across the board” in litigation. Commercial property work has been the backbone of the litigation department for over a decade, giving it an inherent stability that has enabled it to flurry. As well as the usual commercial cases, the team is now regularly instructed on IP, telecoms and software and licensing disputes. Professional negligence cases are another important source of work, and the department receives instructions from firms outside of Yorkshire who are attracted to its experience and knowledge of the local market. Interviewees rate Head of Department Nick Dean as “an impressive litigator who is sensible to deal with”. He specialises in Landlord & Tenant disputes. The “very sound” Rob Hastie enters the rankings following recommendations for his skill in property related disputes”.
The UK Legal 500 2007/2008 Edition
“Gosschalks’ work is surprisingly international for a Hull based firm. Recent matters including advising a US company in a breach of warranty claim against a Norwegian company, and a case concerning two multinationals and defective cabling running underneath the Atlantic.
