CLARITY AND RESOLUTION

Perhaps you are a landlord and want to pursue a claim against property damage that will be costly for you to repair. Or you could be a developer with a vast portfolio, which includes managing numerous dilapidations issues. At the other end of the spectrum, you could be a tenant facing expensive liability claims you believe you are not responsible for.

Whichever side of the dispute you are on, we will work closely with you to understand your objectives and interests. We will support you with practical guidance and steadfast negotiation throughout the process. In many cases, our arbitrators and mediators have reached a resolution before litigation is required, seeking an early agreement so that you can protect your reputation and avoid further costs. Should your case go to trial, you can rest assured that we have an excellent track record in achieving favourable outcomes.
