Business Disputes

The art of business is more complex than ever before. A globalized marketplace creates opportunities for growth, while technological innovation disrupts the status quo, and regulatory frameworks grow ever more labyrinth. In this complicated landscape, companies, partnerships, societies, directors, and professionals can all benefit from the counsel of Eyford Partners’ strategically-minded lawyers.

From our offices in Vancouver and Kelowna, the commercial litigation lawyers of Eyford Partners provide skilled advocacy services to clients, both nationally and internationally. We have provided tailored services to a range of clients, from established global businesses to governments to entrepreneurs operating locally.

Our approach begins with understanding your business, your goals, and the potential effect of this dispute on your enterprise and reputation. We recognize that alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation and arbitration, is often the best route forward. Indeed, the term “alternative dispute resolution” is something of a misnomer, since, in the majority of cases, pursuing a solution outside of the courts is the most efficient method for resolving a dispute. Our team works closely with clients to develop bespoke strategies for resolving disputes—whether this is through negotiated settlement, arbitration and mediation, or injunctive relief.
