Frequently Asked Questions
What does a dispute resolution lawyer do?
A dispute resolution lawyer advises and represents clients in resolving legal disagreements through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation while protecting their legal and commercial interests.
When should I contact a litigation lawyer?
You should seek legal advice as soon as a dispute arises or before taking legal action. Early legal intervention often increases the chances of resolving disputes efficiently.
What is the difference between litigation and arbitration?
Litigation resolves disputes through the courts, while arbitration is a private process where an independent arbitrator hears the dispute and makes a binding decision.
Can disputes be resolved without going to court?
Yes. Many disputes are successfully resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration, saving both time and legal costs.
What types of disputes do you handle?
We advise on commercial disputes, contract disputes, debt recovery, employment matters, shareholder disagreements, property disputes, construction disputes, and regulatory matters.
Can you assist directors and boards?
Absolutely. We advise directors and boards on governance responsibilities, fiduciary duties, board effectiveness, governance policies, and regulatory compliance.
