ADR, MEDIATION, ARBITRATION

Our lawyers are skilled in litigation, arbitration, investigations, and ADR and deploy that experience to help you devise the best strategies.

The emergence of a commercial dispute or misunderstanding is a situation that requires its parties to be aware of the potential risks and implement effective solutions to reduce the judicial escalation that entails heavy costs on several financial, time consuming and commercial levels. Accordingly, resorting to investing in the relationship with the other and activating alternative means to address the dispute or misunderstanding between the two parties becomes a more effective option, and litigation becomes a final option and a final solution for the enterprise.

We will work with you to manage potential risk and implement effective solutions to reduce costly escalations. We aim to solve complex business disputes swiftly, as effectively as possible and provide solutions aligned with your business objectives.

GLOBALIZATION

Globalization has brought limitless commercial opportunities. But it has also increased the potential for legal liability by exposing corporations to financial and reputational risk across multiple jurisdictions. Mitigation of those risks requires early engagement with experienced lawyers who understand the cultural, as well as the legal and regulatory landscapes, who will also drive relentlessly to deliver results when a dispute or regulatory intervention is unavoidable.
