1. Alternative Dispute Resolution

Wherever feasible, we recommend using a way of Alternative Dispute Solution (ADR) before taking the matter to court. There are several alternative dispute resolution techniques that can be used, including competition table negotiation, mediation, conciliation, and arbitration.

If you can prevent a lengthy and complex trial proceeding or save yourself the hassle of filling out the bench forms needed to commence a civil suit, that is always preferable –and will save you time and money.

1. Civil litigation

If ADR is not feasible or is unsuccessful, we may have to bring a civil claim through the court procedure to resolve the dispute. The litigation process isn’t quick or straightforward, but contrary to popular belief, not all cases end up at trial.
