Dispute Resolution Strategic Outcomes
Our Commercial Litigation Focus
Whilst many clients prefer to avoid disputation, commercial disagreements are a fact of life. CharterLaw adopts a balanced and reasoned commercial approach to Commercial litigation and dispute resolution. Whether a client is the protagonist, the aggrieved party or unwilling defendant in a dispute, we closely examine all aspects of a dispute including the technical issues as well as the underlying factors which may be driving the dispute before “rushing of to court”.
Where appropriate, we actively encourage alternative dispute resolution at an early stage. We litigate only when it is necessary to achieve a satisfactory commercial and financial outcome for our clients and not to create legal precedent.
CharterLaw can also provide strategic legal advice to assist you to avoid potential litigation by assisting you to “lay off” risk and in circumstances where settlement is the only appropriate outcome, we can apply our tax knowledge and tax resources to see if the settlement cannot be made “Tax functional”.
