We know that for clients, disputes are a last resort. This is why we promote the use of alternative dispute resolution techniques, in particular mediation. If a dispute does escalate, we have substantial expertise in all types of dispute resolution procedures, including litigation in the High Court, arbitration, adjudication and expert determination.
