Frequently Asked Questions
Arbitration is generally faster, confidential (unlike public court proceedings), offers flexibility in choosing specialized arbitrators, and results in a final, binding award that is internationally enforceable under the New York Convention.
The timeline for a commercial lawsuit varies based on the complexity and court jurisdiction. At the High Court, it can take 12 to 36 months to obtain a judgment. Appeals to the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court can add several years, which is why alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is highly recommended.
Mediation is a voluntary, non-binding process where an independent third party (the mediator) helps disputing parties negotiate a mutually acceptable settlement. It preserves business relationships, saves costs, and is highly effective for contract disputes.
Yes. We represent financial institutions, corporations, and individuals in recovering outstanding debts and locating hidden assets using legal frameworks, including Mareva injunctions (asset freezes).
