Collaboration by contract and use of corporate structures are two great Western traditions underpinning commerce and development. But when a contract is broken or terminated, a JV disintegrates, or a company is misused, principle and perspective can be easily lost in the dispute.
What is then most important is robust advocacy of position and clear thinking on strategic options and outcomes.
We offer experience with commercial dispute resolution in all its forms: by negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and in the courtroom. For some issues a court solution or ruling is necessary, but in fact most businesses want the matter steered towards a sensible resolution. This is achieved for clients by applying a blend of litigation and commercial strategic skills to our work.
