On the contentious aspect, we provide guidance on dispute
resolution. But if dispute is unavoidable, our extensive
experience in litigation, arbitration and Alternative
Dispute Resolution experience enables us to deliver the
best solution to clients.
"Alternative Dispute Resolution' services provide fast,
private and cost-saving means to resolve conflicts. It
is especially important for construction, financial,
insurance, technology industries and/or SMEs which do
not want to devote enormous amount of money, effort and
time in prolonged litigation. With our partners'
expertise in technology and law, we provide Mediation
and Adjudication services to resolve technology-related
legal issues, and represent those who are in
disagreement with the umpire in related arbitration
proceedings.
Both Mediation and Adjudication are relatively cheaper
ways of dispute resolution services. Mediation is a
process of negotiation with a help of an expert
middleman whose findings are not binding in law.
Adjudication is the resolution of disputes by way of
expert determination which is binding in law, and
usually only involve documentary evidence. With our
technology knowledge base, we can act as competent
expert Mediators and Adjudicators.
