What is the difference between litigation and dispute resolution?
Litigation generally refers to resolving a dispute through court proceedings. Dispute resolution is broader and can also include arbitration, mediation, negotiation and settlement. Our lawyers advise clients on the most appropriate approach based on the circumstances, risks and commercial objectives of each dispute.
Can a commercial dispute be resolved without going to court?
Yes. Court proceedings are not always the most appropriate or commercially effective option. Our dispute resolution attorneys can advise on negotiation, mediation, arbitration and settlement as alternatives to litigation where appropriate.
