When disputes are not capable of resolution by the parties themselves then the issues may be resolved by means of a formal dispute resolution process.
We bring over 20 years of experience with dispute resolution, with the emphasis on resolution. During the course of any formal proceedings we continue to review cases on a regular basis in order to ensure that any settlement advice we offer is as up to date as possible, and that no opportunity for securing an advantage is missed.
