Business law

Hatton barristers provide swift, sound, practical advice to help clients make effective and fully informed commercial decisions. They all work with other legal professionals and businesses alike on the full range of company business matters, from corporate disputes to individual insolvency.

Non-contentious aspects of all of these areas are equally important. Although Hatton barristers take pride in being effective litigators, it often makes business sense to prevent commercial disputes escalating; court action should always be a last resort.
