Coltman Warner Cranston LLP

Larry Coltman

Larry is the senior partner dealing with commercial litigation and insolvency matters, including high-value contested debts on behalf of creditors. Large retention of title claims are a regular feature of his work. He also deals with policy disputes in the credit insurance industry. He has been involved in a number of insolvency actions and has obtained freezing orders against directors and partners in insolvent businesses. Under the Commercial Agents’ Regulations 1993, commercial agents became entitled to compensation and so Larry has specialised in these claims. He regularly advises on agency and distribution disputes throughout the EU and acts for principals and agents. His clients include several major plcs, as well as UK- and US-based principals exporting goods throughout the EU. He also specialises in franchise claims for franchisors and franchisees.
