Resolving a dispute out of court
It is almost always best to avoid going to trial if possible. Going all the way to trial is highly risky and expensive. There is no guarantee, even if you win at court, that the opponent will pay the damages awarded or legal costs.We can advise and assist on popular forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution such as mediation or arbitration.
Whether you decide (or are required, for example by contract clauses or the Court rules) to agree to mediation or arbitration or not, the keys to resolving a dispute out of court are :-
- recognising that there are rarely outright winners in litigation
- assessing whether there are tactical ways to increase the opponent's willingness to settle
- assessing your risk and that of the opponent
- working out which areas you will be flexible on
