Alternative Forms of Dispute Resolution

We recognise that there is always more than one way of solving a problem. Litigants are encouraged to consider Alternative Forms of Dispute Resolution at all stages of a dispute.  Often, litigation at court is not necessarily the best route for a variety of reasons.  We have extensive experience of alternative forms of dispute resolution and, in such circumstances, we will support and guide you through the options available to you.
