Litigation is only one method of resolving a dispute. Your solicitor will work with you and advise as to the best way of progressing towards resolution. Some alternatives to litigation are:
Mediation — a process of negotiation whereby an independent person assists the parties to arrive at a solution to a dispute.
Negotiation — discussion or correspondence between the parties directed at settlement without court proceedings. The majority of disputes are settled by negotiation, without a decision by a court.
Conciliation — an expert conciliator actively supervises and generates negotiation between the parties. Most civil courts have some form of compulsory conciliation as part of court procedures.
Arbitration — similar to a court hearing, an arbitrator, who normally has expertise in the subject matter of the dispute, hears evidence and makes a decision on the facts at hand.
The Commercial Litigation team is experienced in, and committed to, providing effective and strategic advice and representation in resolving commercially-related disputes.
Our team is comprised of:
- Murray Thornhill (Director)
- Matthew Wallis (Senior Associate)
- Vince Pelligra (Solicitor)
