BUSINESS PROTECTION SERVICES

The pursuit of a business venture is often grounded in a deep-rooted desire for independence, self-expression, and financial security. Yet in today’s ever-evolving legal and compliance landscape, business owners must navigate a myriad of complex and frequently changing requirements — many of which they may not even be aware of, or find difficult to comply with. Whether your business is still an idea or already well established, critical questions inevitably arise: What is the best legal form for your business? What provisions must be made for employees? What terms should govern your relationships with suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders? What should be done to make, prevent, or defend against claims?

Advice on the Legal Needs of your Business;

CONTRACTS

Good contracts clearly define the rights and obligations of the parties and provide a means by which its terms can be enforced. It is therefore necessary that care be taken in the drafting of a contract or that advice be obtained at an early stage to ensure that the contract achieves these objectives. Unfortunately, there are many instances in which this is not done and additional assistance is needed afterwards to determine what the rights of the parties are and how they may be enforced. This is especially so where there is no written contract but there is a clear course of conduct that supports the existence of legally binding obligations on the parties. Additionally, even the clearest contract can be breached. Assistance may therefore be required to determine if there has actually been a breach and, if so, the nature and extent of the remedies which are available.

At KCT Chambers, our role is to carefully assess the desired or established legal obligations of the parties, provide clear and structured advice on our clients’ options and to take decisive steps to secure the outcome to which our clients are entitled. This includes:

Reviewing Proposed Contracts;
Preparing Contracts;
Advising on Contractual Liabilities;
Calculating Compensation for Breaches of Contracts;
Negotiating Settlements; and
Conducting Court Proceedings.

DEBT COLLECTION

The most common debts arise where there is a contract which is expressly for the lending and repayment of money or where the best remedy for a breach of contract is compensation. However, there are also instances in which no strict contractual relationship exists but a debt is clearly owed. For example, a debt often needs to be collected where funds or other assets have been stolen or misappropriated or where property has been damaged and the cost of repairing or replacing the property has to be recovered.

At KCT Chambers we know that the process of trying to recover a debt often creates a burden which extends beyond monetary value. Our role is to remove this load from our clients’ shoulders by carefully evaluating the circumstances, providing clear advice on whether a debt is recoverable and utilizing our expertise to take all necessary steps to do so on their behalf. These steps include:

Advising the Debtor of the Claim;
Negotiating Settlements;
Receiving Payments; and
Conducting Court Proceedings.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Disputes, both internal and external, are an inevitable part of doing business. The longer they persist, the greater impact they can have on your working environment, reputation, productivity, and bottom line.

At KCT, we always take a client-centered and economic approach to resolving disputes — focused on delivering practical outcomes that promote long-term business success. Whether through direct negotiation, structured settlements, disciplinary hearings, mediation, or litigation, our goal is to identify the most effective path to resolution while preserving your resources and relationships wherever possible.

Sometimes it is just not possible to resolve disputes or enforce rights without the assistance of the Court. Civil Litigation is the process by which such Court Proceedings are conducted in the Magistrates Court, High Court, Court of Appeal and the Caribbean Court of Justice. We appreciate that whether you are claiming relief, seeking compensation or defending yourself, the preparation of legal documents and interacting with Magistrates and Judges can be a daunting and confusing exercise. Therefore, at KCT Chambers our role is to carefully advise our clients on the process and the most appropriate steps to be taken, provide a practical but legally grounded approach to all matters and steadfastly and meticulously advocate on our clients’ behalf. We assist our clients by:

Researching and Advising on Legal Rights and Obligations;
Preparing Court Documents;
Making Oral and Written Submissions on Points of Law;
Preparing Witnesses; and
Representing Clients in all Hearings, Trials and Appeals.
