Commercial litigation
Commercial, tech and IP disputes for growing businesses
Disputes over customers, a contract or a product. I represent businesses in commercial, tech and IP disputes, and at every step I check what the business needs next.
I also work on deals, so I know where most disputes start: a weak clause in a contract, or a verbal understanding that was never put in writing.
What this practice covers
- 01Commercial contract disputes
- 02Disputes with vendors or clients over whose customers they are
- 03Tech and IP disputes
- 04Demand letters and separation agreements
- 05Court proceedings when needed
Real-life example
A vendor without a written contract starts approaching your customers. A written agreement in advance prevents most of the dispute. And if a dispute comes anyway, the agreement is your starting point.
When the dispute starts in the deal
Many disputes start with a contract written in a hurry, or never written at all.

Common questions
Which commercial disputes do you handle?
Commercial contract disputes, tech and IP disputes, and disputes over who owns the customer relationship. I weigh every legal risk against what matters to the business.
What happens when a software vendor without a written deal tries to poach end customers?
It starts with access to the customer book without a SOW, without agreement on who owns the customer relationship, and without a non-solicit. The article covers the trap and the papers to sign in advance.
Software vendor without a written deal poaching customers →Does every dispute have to go to court?
No. Many disputes open with a demand letter and negotiation. Court is a tool, not a default.
How does litigation connect to deals?
A weak contract in today's deal is tomorrow's dispute. So it pays to check the deal documents early: at the letter of intent, in due diligence and in the agreement.
M&A and deals →Do you also handle disputes between partners and founders?
Yes, when there is a commercial dispute between partners or shareholders. We start from the documents already signed and from how the parties actually behaved.
Partnerships and founders →How do I reach out?
Write to me briefly about the parties, the contract if there is one, and the stage. Don't send sensitive evidence in the first message. I reply within one business day.
