Commercial Law

Commercial disputes are subject to compulsory mediation before a lawsuit can be filed. Having contracts legally vetted at the drafting stage significantly reduces both the risk and the cost of future disputes.

Commercial law covers a broad field, from contracts between merchants to negotiable instruments, and from unfair competition to carriage of goods. The greatest legal risk a business can take is doing business on contracts that have never been legally reviewed.

Our office provides both litigation and advisory services in drafting and negotiating contracts, collecting commercial receivables, check and promissory note disputes, and unfair competition cases. Our aim is to prevent disputes before they arise — and when they do arise, to resolve them by the fastest and most economical route.

Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial Law: Frequently Asked Questions

For an assessment of your specific case, please book an appointment.

In commercial cases whose subject matter is a monetary receivable or damages, applying to a mediator before filing suit is mandatory. If the mediation stage is skipped, the case is dismissed on procedural grounds. The process is typically completed within 6-8 weeks.

The holder of a dishonored check can initiate enforcement proceedings, file a complaint seeking a check-issuing ban, and pursue criminal proceedings for the offense of issuing a check without funds. The complaint must be filed within 3 months of learning of the dishonor and, in any event, within 1 year.

A penalty clause agreed between merchants is, as a rule, enforceable, and a merchant cannot seek its reduction except in cases of economic ruin. The scope and amount of the penalty clause should therefore be negotiated carefully when the contract is concluded.
