Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about dispute resolution
How long do disputes typically take to resolve?
This varies significantly depending on the complexity and whether parties are willing to negotiate. Simple matters may resolve in weeks, while complex litigation can take 12-24 months. We'll give you a realistic assessment early on.
Should I try to resolve disputes directly first?
Sometimes, but be careful. Anything you say or write may be used later. We recommend getting legal advice before engaging in substantive discussions, even if you ultimately handle the matter yourself.
What's the difference between mediation and arbitration?
Mediation is a facilitated negotiation where you retain control of the outcome. Arbitration is more like private court where an arbitrator makes a binding decision. Both have their place depending on the circumstances.
