Alternative Dispute Resolution
Resolving Disputes Outside the Courtroom
What is Alternative Dispute Resolution?
Unfortunately, disputes are part of life. Many can be solved with a simple conversation, but when the dispute involves a serious matter such as a property or contract, bankruptcy, professional negligence, forced sales or will contesting, then you may well require formal advice. Alternative Dispute Resolution, also known as ADR are those alternative methods of dispute resolution, which is kept out of the courtroom.
How can we help?
In every case, we make an early assessment of the client’s position, advise of the range of options available and recommend an approach that is efficient, commercial and cost effective. Alternative dispute resolution processes, in which we have experience, include:
-
Round table discussions
-
Mediation
-
Expert determination
-
Arbitration
Settling a matter outside of court saves you on both time and money. We will always try to resolve things outside of the courtroom.
When to engage a Lawyer
We recommend clients engage our services as early as possible, as generally this will be when you have the widest range of options available to you. We can advise you of the various possible courses of action, their advantages and disadvantages, and the associated legal costs. We also proactively identify risks and advise how to avoid or minimise those threats. To further enhance risk management, we provide fixed prices where possible to ensure you’re aware of costs upfront, providing transparency and cost certainty.
