Alternative dispute resolution (ADR)

Relationships are paramount for all successful businesses. Sometimes these relationships falter. We use alternative dispute resolutions to resolve disputes before they become overwhelmingly costly and time consuming.

 

We are committed to helping clients protect their interests outside of litigation. Our major objective is to analyze what was required by the contract and provide a thorough and accurate analysis of the disputed issues.

 

Our dispute resolution team will give you clear advice as to the options available and the best strategy to deal with disputes to prevent financial and reputational damage to your business.

Our focus:

 

  • Case Assessment.
  • Meeting Facilitation.
  • Settlement Assistance.
  • Negotiation Counseling.
  • Expert Witness Testimony.
  • Dispute Prevention & Mediation.
  • Arbitration & Litigation Counseling.
  • Conflict strategy development & implementation.
