ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Disputes can arise in any business, but going to court to
resolve them can be time-consuming and costly for everyone.
When it comes to resolving disputes, we think litigation
should be the dispute resolution choice of last resort.
AGS is committed to alternative dispute resolution to help
disputing parties achieve their agreed outcomes in the most
cost-effective way. To protect our clients’ interests
and to meet their objectives, we explore the possibility
of alternative dispute resolution at every stage of a dispute
or litigation process.
The use of alternative dispute resolution processes, where
appropriate, is consistent with Australian Government initiatives.
AGS can help minimise disputes and resolve them as quickly
as possible by helping clients to:
- minimise the risk of disputes arising through active
and ongoing management
- recognise disputes at an early stage
- assess and manage emerging disputes, including strategies
for a resolution
- understand and apply a range of dispute resolution options
- evaluate prospects of settlement or resolution using
alternative dispute resolution
- engage and brief accredited mediators when required
- understand and participate effectively in alternative
dispute resolution processes.
A number of our lawyers are recognised as accredited mediators
by various professional associations.
