Amicable dispute resolution
Our firm favors amicable dispute resolution.
The firm assists its clients in setting up mediation, conciliation or arbitration procedures to meet the needs of businesses, which are increasingly keen to settle their disputes amicably. We also represent our clients when they are involved in amicable settlement negotiations.
Out-of-court dispute resolution remains our preferred option as it offers a threefold benefit.
Confidentiality of discussions
The discussions and the subject matter of the dispute remain strictly confidential, thereby protecting the reputation and interests of the parties.
Control over the outcome of the dispute
The parties retain control over the outcome, thereby avoiding a decision being imposed on them that would not meet their individual objectives.
Controlled timeframes and costs
The dispute can be resolved within a reasonable timeframe and at a reasonable cost (particularly in complex litigation) , thereby sparing the parties from lengthy and costly proceedings.
The Firm employs a well-structured methodology to assist its clients in implementing alternative dispute resolution methods, with a view to facilitating an amicable settlement of the dispute.
Preliminary audit of litigation risks
We first analyse your situation in order to identify and assess the legal risks, with a view to determining the best negotiation strategy.
Choice of amicable procedure
We can advise you on the most appropriate method of amicable resolution for your specific situation, in the absence of a contractual clause setting out the procedure to be followed.
Implementation of the amicable procedure
We assist you at every stage of the negotiations and monitor the process right through to the finalisation of an agreement.
This approach helps our clients analyze the inherent risks in litigation and the chances of success, thereby facilitating decision-making.
