Osborne Clarke’s specialist contract disputes lawyers have developed a depth of expertise and skills across a broad spectrum of contract types, supported by insider knowledge of a range of industry sectors.

Whether you’re in the technology, banking, retail or other sectors, you’ll find we offer a service that suits the way you do business. We have the infrastructure and resources to deal efficiently and effectively with both large and small scale contracts disputes. Examples include disputes involving agency, distribution, reseller, VAR, OEM, outsouring and partnering agreements; non-performance in accordance with specifications; non-delivery of goods or services; warranties; business sales and purchases; and product liability.

Much of our work is cross-border in nature, particularly disputes relating to the technology sector and we have the experience of conducting disputes in multiple jurisdictions, supported by our international network. According to Chambers & Partners 2005 we are "very switched on” and adopt “a common sense approach to litigation”.

We achieve commercial solutions for our clients, whether through formal Court and arbitration proceedings or mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. We are active promoters of ADR and are recognised experts in arbitration. But, if litigation is inevitable, we know how to make the procedures work to promote the best possible deal for our clients and, if necessary, to succeed in Court.
