CIVIL LITIGATION

DISPUTE RESOLUTIONS, CIVIL LITIGATION AND MEDIATION

Disputes invariably generate stress and strain for those involved.  What is needed is practical, straightforward advice, focussed on achieving results for the client. Our principals and solicitors concentrate on making themselves available to look in an independent way at our clients’ needs and achieving pragmatic, sensible solutions.

Where possible we encourage alternative dispute resolutions, including mediation, which can be an effective tool in resolving disputes.

For those disputes that cannot be resolved by that process, we have the experience and people to conduct civil litigation at both District and High Court levels.  Where necessary, we instruct specialist Counsel and we have developed special relationships with experienced commercial barristers in Wellington to whom we can refer where necessary. Through these relationships, we are able to provide specialist advice to clients at a fraction of the cost of employing specialist litigators in Wellington , Auckland or Christchurch.
