Irrespective
of how prudently you manage your business and/or relationships,
disputes will inevitably arise. When they do, you need someone
to assist you to resolve those differences as efficiently
and cost effectively as possible, with the best commercial
outcome in mind.
In order to facilitate
a successful solution, Plastiras Lawyers firstly
seek to obtain an understanding of the dispute. Our experience
shows us that to have any chance of resolution at an early
stage (before it becomes drawn out and expensive), it is essential
to get to the core issues and put them on the table.
Another fundamental element
of our approach is to educate ourselves as to your position
on the issues and what your interests, needs and goals are.
It is important to establish a free flow of information and
through that, be able to “put ourselves in your shoes”
and work out what is most valuable to you.
Our next step is to discuss
the most suitable options available to you with a view to
resolving the dispute. We assess those options with you in
order to strategically plan a course of action. Once decided,
our dispute resolution team will vigorously pursue that course;
however, as the direction of a dispute is rarely straightforward,
we are always conscious of maintaining flexibility in order
to respond to changing circumstances quickly.

Throughout
this process, we will always keep you informed. We encourage
contact from our clients, as we understand that knowledge
about how the matter is progressing provides comfort through
a difficult and stressful period.
Following this procedure, we find the great
majority of disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation
and other dispute resolution processes. Litigation should
always be seen as the last resort, due to the time and expense
involved. Should it be necessary however, Plastiras Lawyers have experienced litigators in all courts and
jurisdictions.
