How we helped a client achieve £200,000 full settlement via mediation and preserved the ongoing commercial relationship.

Our client is a successful retail company. They were engaged in a contractual agreement with the organisers for one of the largest exhibitions that host a yearly show which attracts thousands of people every year to visit. The contract involved a substantial financial commitment from our client, amounting to approximately £350,000 for exclusive rights to showcase their product at the exhibition.

The crux of the dispute arose when our client discovered a breach of the exclusivity clause, evidenced by the presence of similar products from other exhibitors. This breach not only undermined the exclusivity agreement but also resulted in significant sales losses for our client. The organisers demanded full payment for the upcoming show, valued at £200,000, which included a similar exclusivity arrangement, while refusing to acknowledge their breach of contract.

In an effort to resolve this matter amicably and avoid litigation, our client proposed a compromise. This included their future participation in other exhibitions whilst seeking a refund for their exclusivity fee for the breached contract. Despite this conciliatory gesture, the organisers persisted in their demands for full payment for the next show and threatened legal action.

Recognising the urgency and the potential impact on our client’s business, we initiated a mediation process. The strategy was twofold: to address the legal issues arising from the breach of contract and to negotiate a settlement that preserved the commercial relationship between the parties.

Through meticulous preparation and skilled negotiation, we successfully mediated the issue, culminating in a settlement of £200,000 in favour of our client. This settlement not only addressed the financial loss suffered due to the breach of contract but also included terms that were commercially beneficial to both parties. Notably, it preserved the business relationship, allowing for potential future collaborations in a more trustworthy and structured framework.

This case exemplifies our firm’s commitment to achieving resolutions that uphold our clients’ legal rights while recognising the importance of sustaining valuable commercial relationships. The successful outcome of this mediation underscores our expertise in navigating complex contractual disputes and our dedication to protecting the interests of our clients.
