DISPUTE
RESOLUTION
Our Approach
In business, disputes are inevitable. There is no magical pre-emptive solution
to preventing each and every dispute from happening. The fact is that when a
commercial dispute arises, businesses need the understanding and insight of
professional legal advice. At Valenti Lawyers, we aim to act for our clients
with as much ease as possible in an often tense situation. At Valenti Lawyers
we aim to act for our clients to resolve the dispute before resorting to legal
action. We endeavour to save our clients from the cost and delays of court
proceedings and prefer to approach commercial disputes from this perspective.
We provide our initial written advice as to our clients’ chances of recovery
and the resolution of the dispute and our reasonable estimate (not quote) of
the legal cost to achieve a resolution of the dispute in a reasonable time. At
Valenti Lawyers we do not view commercial disputes as a “win at all costs”
matter. It is our philosophy that it is in our clients’ best interests to shift
perception away from the rigid notion of winning and losing and aim to resolve
the dispute at hand.
Our Clients
Valenti Lawyers clients include Corporations, Small and Medium Enterprises,
Lending Institutions and Individuals.
Our Role
Our role in Dispute Resolution includes resolving disputes by alternate means
to litigation, via informal negotiation or mediation. This process involves a
critical examination of the central issues, identifying the best means to
resolve the dispute without litigation and enables a negotiated settlement.
Significantly, if successful in this process, our approach enables clients to
self-determine their disputes in the future. If court proceedings have
commenced, Valenti Lawyers aim to look to other means of resolving the dispute
without going to trial. This may be through mediation, pre-trial conferences or
other forms of alternate dispute resolution.
