Not every dispute is settled in a courtroom. We start by assessing the shortest, least costly route for your position: mediation or direct negotiation where the commercial relationship can continue, or arbitration where the contract provides for it or where speed and confidentiality require it.
We draft settlement memoranda so they are enforceable rather than a verbal understanding, and we review the contract's arbitration clause before any dispute — its wording determines the forum and the governing law.
Where settlement proves impossible we move to litigation with a file prepared for that outcome from the start.
