Overview

Whether your dispute involves complex cross-border issues or a single contract disagreement, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) can provide the opportunity to resolve the situation efficiently, through trusted processes in a confidential manner.

 

We’re qualified in a range of ADR techniques and skilled at determining which processes will best suit your situation.

 

We work closely with our clients from a diverse range of industries to determine the most appropriate dispute resolution process.  ADR processes are always considered, as they have the potential to provide more efficient and satisfying business outcomes than court proceedings.

 

In global disputes, clients benefit from our multilingual team and from our international experience in resolving cross-border construction, insurance, transaction, tax, contract and other issues.

 

We are leaders in the field of ADR, with members of our team serving on the executive of respected ADR organizations, sharing their expertise within the profession and teaching law students.
