Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) can be a sensible, cost-efficient, means of resolving disputes. ADR can take place at any stage of proceedings. The aim of ADR is to achieve a compromise between the parties to a dispute without the need to go to trial. Our lawyers are experts in all forms of ADR, whether that be negotiation (in settlement meetings or correspondence), adjudication, arbitration, or mediation. Our team of experienced litigators are there for you to help you achieve a sensible commercial settlement where possible.
Sometimes a case is not capable of settlement by ADR. In such cases, our expert lawyers have the experience and expertise to litigate your claim effectively and, crucially, the advocacy skills to present your case to its best advantage before the courts. Our team of advocates has appeared in some of the largest and most complex litigation matters to come before the Island’s courts over the last two decades.
We understand that litigation is often an unfamiliar, complex, and confusing process. We know that it can be stressful, emotional and uncertain. We cannot guarantee a result; no lawyer can. However, we can, and do, provide clear and understandable advice as to your case and your options. We give pragmatic and commercial advice as to outcomes and potential settlement. We deliver sound legal and tactical advice to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients, whether at trial or otherwise.
Whatever the dispute, we are here to advise you and guide you throughout the process.
