We help you navigate potential risks with proactive advice that identifies your vulnerabilities at the outset. Our professionally drafted agreements and advice on best practice norms can help you minimise the risk that there will be a dispute.
Unfortunately, sometimes another party may raise a dispute despite your efforts. When this occurs, early action is critical to prevent the dispute from escalating. We will explore every possible outcome so that we can give you a clear-eyed view of your possible paths to resolution.
Our advice is tailored to the unique needs of your business and your long term commercial goals. We weigh up time and cost considerations alongside the impact of the dispute to your reputation and business relationships.
Where possible, we seek to help you resolve issues through alternative dispute resolution methods. This might involve mediation, arbitration or expert determination. Most disputes can be resolved without going to trial. This frees up your leadership to concentrate on your core business.
If the dispute cannot be resolved, we will fight fearlessly on your behalf for a successful outcome in court.
