No New Zealand business wants the cost, stress and distraction of a commercial dispute. Unfortunately, however, disputes are common, whether with a customer, employee, competitor, supplier, or business partner.
Ideally, you should try to resolve a dispute before it reaches court, and you become involved in litigation. Litigation is the process required to manage a dispute in a court or tribunal.
Another option is to use an alternative dispute resolution method, involving mediation, conciliation and arbitration to reach a commercial settlement. Your business may also have an internal dispute resolution process for handling issues such as customer complaints when they arise.
LegalVision’s Disputes and Litigation team can help you resolve your dispute quickly, while it is still in the early stage, allowing you to focus on your business’ growth and success. Our experienced team also shares their knowledge through a series of articles that will help you understand the disputes process.
