Dispute Resolution

About

Provided by Dentons New Zealand

Disputes, particularly complex commercial disputes, can be disruptive, costly, and resource-intensive. As litigation becomes increasingly complex with the growth of data and regulatory scrutiny, clients need legal advisers who combine strategic thinking with commercial acumen and a strong command of litigation process and risk.

Our Dispute Resolution team is known for delivering practical, clear-headed advice that helps clients resolve disputes efficiently and effectively. We act across the full spectrum of contentious matters, from high-stakes commercial litigation and regulatory investigations to contractual claims, shareholder and governance disputes, and professional negligence. We tailor our strategy to each client’s needs, balancing risk, cost, and commercial objectives.

We are equally experienced in resolving disputes through litigation, arbitration, mediation, and negotiation. Our lawyers regularly appear in all levels of New Zealand’s courts and tribunals, and we are trusted to manage significant and sensitive matters for corporates, government entities, iwi, and private clients.

While we have acted in some of New Zealand’s most complex and high-profile disputes, we also assist clients with smaller but equally important matters that can have a significant impact on their businesses or personal lives. No matter the size or complexity of the dispute, our goal is the same: to achieve the best possible outcome, as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.
