    Common Litigation and Dispute Resolution Questions

    No. Many disputes can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, conciliation or arbitration. Court proceedings may be necessary in some cases, but they are not always the first or only option.

    You should get advice as early as possible, especially if you have received a legal letter, formal notice, demand for payment, court document or deadline.

    Do not ignore it. It is usually best to get legal advice before responding, as your reply may affect the direction of the dispute.

    Mediation is a process where an independent mediator helps the parties try to reach an agreement. It can sometimes help resolve disputes without a full court hearing.

    Arbitration is a more formal dispute resolution process where an arbitrator makes a decision after considering the dispute. It is often used in commercial or construction-related matters.

    Yes. Devaney & Partners have experience advising on construction disputes, including matters involving conciliation, mediation, arbitration and litigation.

    You do not need to have everything ready. It is helpful to gather contracts, letters, emails, invoices, notices, photographs, court documents or any written record connected to the dispute.

    If there is a deadline, court date or formal notice, you should contact us as soon as possible and make that clear in your enquiry.
