Dispute Resolution
We resolve several hundred disputes each year. Every dispute is unique and must be thoroughly analysed before objectives and strategy are settled. Objectives are often achieved through negotiation; at other times the case must be argued before the courts. Brækhus has considerable experience of strategic dispute resolution, with very good results to show for it.
Analysing the dispute
The risks and opportunities in a dispute must be analysed before decisions are taken. At Brækhus, this work is led by a litigator who works closely with the client and brings in whatever specialist expertise the case requires.
The analysis concludes with an assessment of litigation risk, realistic objectives and costs, together with a recommended course of action and any alternatives. We use well-proven methods of dispute analysis, giving clients a sound basis for deciding how to proceed.
Litigation before the courts
Where a case must be tried, we do everything we can to win it. Brækhus has extensive experience of running large legal proceedings that place high demands on organisation, expertise and cooperation. Project management is central, and allocating resources correctly throughout the process can make a considerable difference.
When a case is presented to the court, it is essential to put forward a consistent and well-documented account of the facts – one capable of supporting, in law, the outcome the court is asked to reach.
