Matthew Broadbent

Matthew is a solicitor in our dispute resolution team. He supports a variety of clients, from owner-managed SME’s to large private companies, from a wide range of commercial sectors.

Matthew has experience representing clients in a variety of corporate and commercial disputes. He is able to bring problem solving and a pragmatic approach to a range of disputes including: shareholder and partnership; breach of contract; misrepresentation; unjust enrichment / restitution; and negligence.

Examples of how Matthew has supported clients include:

• Advising a director-shareholder who had been excluded from management of a company, as to a claim for unfair prejudice, leading to a successful settlement offer for the purchase of their shares.
• Acting in defence of a claim for consequential losses alleged to arise from breach of a sale of goods contract, misrepresentation and negligence.
• Supporting a partnership in managing the exit of one partner, so as to minimise risk and reduce the likelihood of subsequent adverse consequences or litigation for the remaining partners.
• Advising in relation to a breach of contract dispute, in which a ‘battle of the forms’ arose, in circumstances that the other contracting party was not domiciled within England and Wales.
