Breach of contract

For individual consumers

Contract disputes can arise over a wide range of goods and services, from the purchase of consumer goods through to the provision of building or installation services.

We will examine the contract you hold and ensure you understand what you are entitled to receive, working with you to achieve this.

If you have a problem with a contract you have agreed for the sale of goods or supply of services, AWB Charlesworth Solicitors can assist in seeking to resolve this, whether through negotiations with the supplier or, if necessary, through court action.

Our team can advise on what remedies are available to you if you have suffered a breach of contract, working to put you back in the position you should have been in had the goods or services been properly supplied.

For businesses

Running a successful business depends on keeping to contractual commitments and delivering goods and services on time and in accordance with specification.

Where a business is in a supply chain it can find itself in difficulty through breach of contract by another party.

AWB Charlesworth Solicitors are experienced in representing both Claimants and Defendants in contract litigation. We understand that adhering to deadlines and delivering goods and services promised to customers is paramount to the reputation and financial well-being of your business.

Our team is experienced in resolving contractual disputes with commercial sense and avoiding Court proceedings wherever possible. We understand that time and money are paramount to your business and work to achieve the best resolution for you.

Extracting money owed to your business can often be an uphill struggle. AWB Charlesworth Solicitors are able to provide a range of debt collection services to help chase your outstanding debtors.
