Disputes Handling/Advice

Disputes can be expensive, time consuming and result in considerable liabilities. They are a last resort, but occasionally the only means of ensuring that payments are received or differences resolved.

What is the best means of resolving a dispute? Traditional disputes resolution methods (litigation and arbitration) are being replaced in many areas by mediation, adjudication and various forms of mediation and conciliation. These alternatives are much cheaper, faster and potentially cause less damage to commercial relationships than long litigation/arbitration. But are they suitable?

Are you aware of the differences and the changes in approach the different procedures involve?

We can assist in providing sound legal advice coupled with a practical and prudent approach to the matter.
