Efficient negotiation
Our underperforming supplier had three opportunities to practice equipment fit for purpose. They then said the plant was out of warranty and that we had no claim due to terms of the contract with them. Tollers were more positive about our likely success in litigation and efficiently negotiated with our suppliers solicitors to a successful settlement.
