Business disputes can arise from a variety of issues, such as contract breaches, shareholder disagreements, or property-related conflicts. Regardless of the cause, these disputes can have a significant impact on a company's operations and finances. To resolve these issues swiftly and effectively, many businesses turn to business litigation lawyers or business dispute solicitors.

2. Restoring a Dissolved Company: What You Need to Know
A company can be dissolved for several reasons, including failure to file necessary documents with Companies House or inactivity. However, dissolving a company doesn’t necessarily mean the end of its operations. Businesses can apply for company restoration, either voluntarily or by court order, to regain their legal status and continue trading.
Types of Company Restoration
· Voluntary Restoration: This process allows a company to be restored to the Companies House register if it was struck off involuntarily (e.g., for non-filing of accounts) and if all statutory documents are now in order.
· Restoration by Court Order: In some cases, a company may need to be restored by court order, especially if it was struck off while still trading or if third parties (such as creditors) have a vested interest in its restoration.
Why You May Need to Restore a Company
· Unresolved Business Assets: When a company is dissolved, its assets become the property of the Crown. Restoring a company can help recover these assets and resume business operations.
· Legal Liabilities: If your company had outstanding legal issues at the time of dissolution, it might be necessary to restore the company to resolve these matters legally.
At Moeen & Co. Solicitors, we specialise in helping businesses restore dissolved companies, whether through voluntary application or court proceedings. Our experienced company restoration solicitors ensure that your business complies with legal requirements, allowing you to continue operations smoothly.

Contract disputes are one of the most common types of business disputes, and they can arise for various reasons, including:
· Breach of contract by one party
· Misinterpretation of contract terms
· Failure to deliver goods or services as agreed

4. Commercial Landlord and Tenant Disputes
Conflicts between commercial landlords and tenants can disrupt business operations and lead to expensive legal battles. Disputes often arise over lease terms, rent increases, or property maintenance obligations. Resolving these issues requires a thorough understanding of commercial landlord-tenant law and the ability to navigate complex legal agreements.
Key Issues in Commercial Landlord-Tenant Disputes
· Rent Disputes: Disagreements over rent, including unpaid rent or disputes during rent reviews, are common sources of tension between landlords and tenants.
· Dilapidations: A dilapidations claim involves the condition of the property when the lease ends. These claims can be costly if not handled correctly.
· Lease Renewals: Disputes often arise when it comes time to renew a lease, especially regarding rent adjustments or changes in lease terms.
