Alternative Dispute Resolution

Where appropriate, civil and commercial disputes may be resolved through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or other dispute-resolution mechanisms.

We evaluate the dispute-resolution clause, nature of the dispute, commercial relationship, urgency, and available remedies before advising clients on the appropriate route.

Our Approach

We recognise that litigation is not always the only objective in a commercial dispute. Depending on the circumstances, a negotiated resolution may be commercially relevant.

Accordingly, our approach considers both legal rights and practical commercial considerations.

Where litigation is required, we prepare the matter based on the factual record, contractual documents, applicable law, evidence, and available remedies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a commercial dispute be resolved without filing a case?

Depending on the circumstances, negotiation, mediation, settlement, or arbitration may provide alternatives to conventional litigation.

What documents should I preserve for a commercial dispute?

Contracts, invoices, emails, messages, notices, payment records, delivery documents, correspondence, and other documents connected with the transaction may be relevant.

Can I obtain an injunction in a civil dispute?

In appropriate circumstances, courts may grant interim or permanent injunctive relief subject to applicable legal requirements.

Can you help with a business recovery dispute?

Yes. We can review the underlying transaction, contractual documents, payment records, correspondence, and available remedies.
