Our Approach

We help our clients avoid costly disputes or, when that is not possible, to win them. To begin, we can help you put in place practical, effective, formal, and informal mechanisms for dealing with disputes. Thus, we regularly become involved at the contracting stage to draft beneficial dispute resolution provisions. When a dispute cannot be avoided, we focus first on your objectives in light of the legal, commercial, reputational, and other risks presented in each case. Our aim is to bring disputes to an early and successful conclusion.
