CDH's Dispute Resolution practice is one of the strongest in South Africa and Kenya. Our lawyers are experienced specialists in litigation, arbitration, mediation and other dispute resolution methods. Our primary aim is to help you avoid formal litigation or arbitration wherever possible. When a formal process is unavoidable, we take into account your commercial objectives and prospects of success while assessing the legal, commercial and reputational risk. Disputes can be costly and divert valuable resources from a company’s core business. Although legal costs can be high, the costs of focusing senior management on the dispute rather than the core business objectives of your company can be astronomical. Our lawyers are skilled in identifying the correct approach to disputes to influence outcomes more positively and to manage risk most effectively. They will devise the optimum procedural tactics or creative settlement approach. We offer a complete service in methods of dispute resolution. Our lawyers will work as business partners with you to identify and execute the most advantageous solutions, either by pursuing or defending arbitration or litigation proceedings, or through alternative methods, such as mediation. We concentrate on providing the highest level of client service and reducing levels of uncertainty relative to outcome and cost.
