Dispute resolution

We are known for our unique methods in successful prevention and settlement of disputes before they escalate to formal legal proceedings.

We advise Clients on ways to avoid and resolve disputes effectively at the outset. In cases where formal action becomes necessary, we represent Clients in litigations, arbitrations, expert determinations and other forms of ADR. We work closely with Clients and experts to navigate the case to the best possible outcome.

Our approach encompasses a meticulous evaluation of the facts and associated evidence, thorough risk assessment, and preliminary analyses of the likelihood of successful outcomes.

We carefully craft a litigation or arbitration strategy through collaborative deliberation and review of applicable law. We offer support at every stage of a dispute but remain vigilant for early dispute resolution opportunities that may align with the evolving dynamics of the case. We protect our clients’ interests and foster solutions that promote long-term relationships and strategic advantages in their fields.

assessment of the facts of the case and the available case documents,
identification of risks and preliminary assessment of the prospects of success,
development of a litigation strategy for the case, including end-to-end collaboration to select the best course of action,
review of the current practice and the relevant case law,
