Alternative dispute resolution
Understanding how a dispute may unfold before a judge or an arbitral tribunal enables a more precise assessment of risks, anticipation of counterparty positions, and negotiation from a position of strength. Many disputes can be resolved before proceedings commence, or even after they are underway.
Rigorous early risk assessment identifies when an out-of-court settlement represents the most effective path to protecting the client’s interests, mitigating the financial, temporal, and reputational impact associated with court proceedings.
We advise our clients on selecting and executing the most suitable out-of-court resolution mechanism for each dispute, structuring direct negotiations, mediation, conciliation, independent neutral expert evaluation, and confidential binding offers.
