Adjudication: Fast, Efficient Dispute Settlement
Adjudication is often the preferred mechanism in construction and infrastructure disputes, offering a faster and less costly alternative to litigation. Our lawyers support the process by:
- Drafting and responding to referrals
- Managing the evidentiary process
- Enforcing adjudicator decisions in court
We regularly assist developers, contractors, and professionals in resolving project-related claims swiftly, helping to keep projects on track
Strategic Claims Handling
We approach claims not just from a legal perspective, but with the insurer’s commercial and reputational risks in mind.
Arbitration provides parties with a structured yet private forum to resolve disputes.
As experienced arbitration counsel, we:
- Represent clients in both domestic and international arbitrations
- Assist in selecting arbitrators and drafting arbitration agreements
- Navigate complex procedural rules and the enforcement of awards
Our firm is adept at handling high-value commercial arbitrations across sectors, including transport, energy, insurance, business rescue, and corporate law.
Mediation offers a collaborative space to reach a mutually acceptable solution, often preserving relationships.
We advise clients on:
- Preparing for mediation and identifying negotiation positions
- Selecting skilled mediators and structuring effective sessions
- Formalising mediated agreements to protect long-term interests
This method is especially useful in employment, property, and regulatory disputes where ongoing relationships matter.
While we often resolve matters outside of court, some cases require formal litigation
Our litigation team:
- Assesses risk and merits upfront to guide legal strategy
- Handles urgent court applications, appeals, and complex trials
- Works alongside our sector specialists to provide an integrated defence
We act in both the High Court and specialist tribunals, offering robust representation with a view to efficient outcomes.
