Welcome to the September 2025 edition of Business Law Today.

 

I am Head of Securities and Investment Disputes at Michelmores. Although my practice spans all forms of complex commercial disputes, I particularly focus on financial services and securities disputes, and contentious insolvency.

During periods of economic uncertainty, businesses tend to become more attentive to whether contracts are being properly performed and ensuring they are getting what they are paying for and taking action where their contractual rights are not being upheld. Disputes tend to increase for similar reasons, however, the costs and risks of litigation can put businesses off pursuing good claims. There are many ways in which these risks can be managed or mitigated, including the use of insurance solutions or litigation funding to do so. We would be very happy to talk to you about this, if this is something that is preventing you from taking action where something has gone wrong due to concerns about the cost of pursuing the wrongdoers. 
 
In this edition, we have a great mix of articles from our Commercial, Corporate, Corporate Tax, Employment and Commercial & Regulatory Disputes teams, so there is bound to be something to pique your interest. If there's a particular topic you'd like to hear more about or something that is keeping you up at night, please use the voting buttons below or email us to let us know.
