Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

Whether big or small, disputes are a common part of running a business, ranging from simple contract issues about selling goods or services to complex, multi-million-pound commercial disputes and internal conflicts involving directors and shareholders. Disputes can be time-consuming and costly. While no one wants to face them, it’s crucial to resolve them quickly and effectively when they arise.

Wilkes can advise on a range of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques, helping you avoid potentially costly and time-consuming court proceedings.

Let us help you prevent disputes from getting out of control.
