Our approach to the law is from a non litigious perspective. We try to operate from a position that is not adversarial in nature or obsessed with risk management. This does not mean that we shy away from conflict or do not properly identify and weigh up the risks involved.
We are careful to help our clients manage the risks before they become an issue and discern the difference between issues of petty conflict, that distract and steal resources and the issues of crucial conflict, that threaten and destroy good business relationships.
With all conflict our first response is to identify our client’s critical, non-negotiable issues and the source of the conflict. We then move to minimise the destructive forces of conflict by affirming relationship and the points of agreement between our client and the other party. Lastly we engage with the source of the conflict adopting whichever posture and role we believe will most effectively bring about resolution and enable us to negotiate the best outcome for our client.
In the event that a litigious approach is required, we have an established network of relationships with a number of litigious law firms which enables us to recommend and connect our client with the best litigator for their circumstances.
