Partners of the Firm have been elevated to the Judiciary, have been appointed and sat as temporary judges and have acted as arbitrators.

The Firm, despite its experience and active role before the local courts and other dispute resolution centres, recognises that alternative dispute resolution or other means of achieving an expeditious settlement of claims is often the more efficient and cost effective alternative to formal litigation proceedings. The Firm’s policy is to deliver concise, practical and accurate advice on the prospects of success and the potential quantum of damages in any given claim so that a client may make a well-informed decision as to whether it wishes to litigate or seek settlement. Court-recommended pre-action protocols are also effectively utilized to secure as much information as possible about a claim prior to settling, commencing or defending litigation. To this end, many of the Firm’s attorneys have received formal mediation and alternative dispute resolution training which is frequently utilized in order to arrive at favourable settlement agreements.

The Litigation and Advocacy Department is also supported by a highly experienced cadre of litigation support staff and maintains relationships with investigators, other litigation support professionals, court marshals and other officers.
