Back to HomeOur Methodology
How We Approach Each Matter
Every engagement begins with a careful assessment of the dispute, the parties' objectives, and the procedural constraints. From that starting point, we identify the most appropriate pathway.
Initial Assessment
We review the nature of the dispute, the relationship between parties, and any applicable contractual provisions.
Pathway Selection
We recommend the most appropriate process — mediation, arbitration, or negotiation — and outline what each involves.
Preparation
Parties are supported in preparing position statements, documents, and any submissions required for the selected process.
Resolution
The session or hearing is conducted, and any resulting agreement or award is documented with enforceability in mind.
Commercial Mediation Services
Facilitation of mediation sessions for commercial disputes, providing a structured and neutral setting for parties to explore resolution options with the support of a trained mediator. The service covers pre-mediation consultation, preparation of position statements, conduct of the mediation session, and drafting of settlement agreements where resolution is reached.
Suitable for disputes involving contractual disagreements, partnership conflicts, and commercial relationship breakdowns where parties prefer a collaborative resolution pathway over adversarial proceedings.
What is included:
Arbitration Representation & Advisory
Legal representation in domestic and international arbitration proceedings, including those administered by SIAC, ICC, and HKIAC. The service covers assessment of the dispute, drafting of the notice of arbitration or response, preparation of written submissions and witness statements, conduct of oral hearings, and post-award matters including enforcement.
Designed for businesses and individuals involved in commercial, construction, or investment disputes that are subject to arbitration agreements.
What is included:
Negotiation & Settlement Facilitation
Advisory and facilitation services for parties seeking to resolve disputes through direct negotiation, without proceeding to formal mediation or arbitration. The service includes assessment of the dispute, preparation of negotiation strategy, drafting of settlement proposals, and attendance at negotiation sessions.
The approach is calibrated to preserve commercial relationships where possible while achieving a fair and practical outcome. Relevant for parties at an early stage of a dispute who wish to explore resolution before positions become entrenched.
