Civil Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Civil Litigation
Civil litigation is the process of resolving non-criminal disputes through the Court in the form of proceedings. Depending on the type of matter, different cases will have different time limitations on when you can commence proceedings.

Alternate Dispute Resolution
Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) is the process of an impartial third party helping parties resolve their disputes. The process is generally quicker and more cost-effective than going to Court. The other benefits are that ADR is confidential and more flexible. The process is 'alternate' as the process is an alternative to seeking a decision made by the Court.
There are various ADR methods, and each has its benefits. Not all ADR methods are suitable for a case, and choosing an appropriate ADR to participate in can be crucial. Some of the ADR methods include:
-
Mediation
-
Conciliation
-
Arbitration
