When a dispute arises, the first decisions often shape the outcome. An early assessment helps to choose a course that serves the business, not only the argument.
What an early assessment covers
- The legal position of each side and the documents that support it
- Risks, likely costs and possible scenarios
- Options: negotiation, settlement or formal proceedings
Settlement and proceedings
Many disputes are resolved by negotiation once each side understands its position. Where proceedings are needed, they are conducted by litigation counsel admitted in the relevant jurisdiction.
MSA&Co advises on dispute strategy on a consultancy basis and coordinates with litigation counsel; it does not provide court representation.
