Our litigation team has extensive experience in instituting various action and application proceedings within all South African tribunals and courts. Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) allows you to ensure that a proficient independent third-party such as an advocate, attorney or retired judge applies their mind to the papers and gives a competent order.
ADR is far more expedient as the time periods are monitored by an independent organisation such as the Arbitration Foundation of Southern Africa (“AFSA”). However, it is a common misconception that arbitration may be less expensive than proceedings launched thorugh our courts. It is important to have experienced legal advice to ensure that the correct forum is chosen to ensure the best all-round result is obtained in respect of each dispute.
