Successful Case Studies

Strategic expertise. Trusted results.

1

Contract Termination Dispute

​Advised & represented a business owner in a contract termination dispute with a supplier who failed to meet agreed delivery timelines. We successfully negotiated a favourable settlement that reduced the financial impact on our client and ensured smooth continuation of their operations.​

​

2

Commercial Lease Review

 

Advised a small business owner on the terms of a commercial lease for a new retail location. We identified several unfavourable clauses, including excessive rent escalation. We negotiated with the landlord to amend the lease, securing more favourable terms, and ensured our client’s rights were protected.

​

3

Debt Recovery for Outstanding Invoice

 

Assisted a client in recovering an unpaid invoice through a formal letter of demand and legal action. After the debtor failed to respond, we pursued the matter in court, securing a successful judgment in our client’s favour.
