Disputes come in all shapes and sizes, with differing numbers of people and range from a simple or minor difference of opinion to outright serious conflict. How a dispute is understood and responded to is key to successful resolution. When faced with a challenging factual setting involving complex legal issues, resolution can sometimes feel beyond [out of] reach. Mediation and alternative dispute resolution processes are thus crucial to our way of finding a remedy to legal problems.
