Dispute Resolution

A commercial dispute should be approached as a business problem as well as a legal one. The strongest legal position does not always produce the most commercially effective outcome.

We advise businesses, founders, shareholders and investors on developing dispute strategies that take into account legal rights, available evidence, financial exposure, timing, enforceability and the commercial relationship between the parties.

Our work begins with establishing what happened and what can be demonstrated. We review contracts, correspondence, corporate records and other available evidence before assessing possible claims, defences and remedies.

Depending on the circumstances, the appropriate strategy may involve formal notices, direct negotiation, settlement, litigation, arbitration or a combination of these approaches.

Where formal proceedings become necessary, we support case preparation, evidence organization, legal submissions and procedural coordination.

Our objective is to give clients a clear assessment of their legal position and a deliberate strategy for resolving the dispute while protecting the wider commercial interests of the business.
