Alternatives to Court Proceedings
In recent times there has been a revolution in the availability and demand for alternative forms of private dispute resolution that do not involve the national Courts. Our lawyers are at the forefront of that revolution, encouraging and promoting the use of alternatives to Court proceedings such as mediation, arbitration and expert determination for quick, cost effective and fair resolutions to commercial disputes. For more information please see our Alternative Dispute Resolution page.

Some problems will never be solved without cost, however we are committed to providing our clients with good value for money and we will provide you with the best possible information on the likely costs of a given action. We know that as a business you need to work to your budget and we will help you do this by providing you with regular updates and canvassing all possible funding options available to you.
