Commercial
Alethea welcomes instructions across a broad range of commercial disputes, including sale of goods, contracts for services, agency, bailment, and debt claims. She benefits from experience gained as a pupil during supervisions with Carlo Taczalski and Richard Sage.
Alethea is regularly instructed in commercial disputes engaging issues such as misrepresentation, breach of contract, sale and supply of goods and services, duties of good faith, and advancing and defencing allegations of fraud.
Examples of her recent and current work include:
- Advising and drafting a defence in a claim brought by a lender arising from the allegedly negligent overvaluation of a substantial asset against which a business loan to a third party was secured, after the borrower defaulted and went into administration.
- Drafting a Defence and strike-out application in relation to a claim against a director of a company in liquidation.
- Assisting Jason Evans-Tovey (leading Michele De Gregorio) with preparations for a trial concerning a petition for relief under Part 30 of the Companies Act 2006 on the grounds of unfairly prejudicial conduct of the affairs of a family-owned car company (as a pupil).
