We're in dispute – How do we fix this?

It is unfortunate, but a fact of life - disputes do arise, even when we've had the best intentions. It happens in all walks of life – not only between individuals but also in the corporate world.

We are often asked to steer clients through their disputes. However, they do not always want to take the most aggressive option –usually litigation –instead they want to preserve their relationship with the party and work through the dispute together.

Depending on the nature and circumstances of the particular conflict our clients are facing, we often recommend and adopt alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, including:

• Negotiation – where the parties engage with each other and work towards resolving their interests
