Alternative Dispute Resolution

Legal disputes have the potential to cause significant disruption to your business and your life, but we know that there are different ways to help you obtain the outcomes you want.

While our focus is always to assist you to resolve a dispute as quickly and economically as possible, we are always thinking outside the box. Litigating a dispute through the Court system may not always be the most appropriate process to resolve a dispute, and while we can run a Court action strategically and robustly if it’s called for, alternative dispute resolution processes can often be more efficient and cost-effective in resolving matters.

We can give advice about and represent you in:

Mediation
Conciliation/settlement conferences before Courts and Tribunals
Expert determination processes
Arbitration
Informal negotiation and other settlement negotiations
Risk management and dispute avoidance, more generally
