A dispute is a disagreement, conflict, or difference in opinions, interests, or rights between two or more parties. It arises when one party believes they have been harmed, that their rights have been violated, or that there has been injustice in a particular relationship or situation. Disputes can occur in various contexts, such as personal, business, legal, political, or international relationships. When there is a difference of opinion between two parties regarding matters concerning their legal relationship, it is a legal dispute, which represents a broad category that encompasses numerous other subtypes of disputes (property disputes, commercial disputes, consumer disputes, labor disputes, banking disputes, and many others).
Dispute Resolution – Judicial and Extrajudicial Approaches for Fair Solutions
Dispute resolution includes judicial and extrajudicial (alternative) methods for finding a fair and mutually acceptable solution between two or more parties. The methods for resolving disputes include negotiation, mediation, and arbitration, which are extrajudicial methods, and judicial proceedings (i.e., court cases), the most secure and widely used method of resolving disputes. Our law firm has extensive experience in each of the listed methods and can provide you with appropriate legal assistance to achieve the best possible outcome and reach your desired goal.
- Negotiations represent the basic method for resolving disagreements and conflicts, allowing parties to find a solution that is satisfactory to both parties and their interests and needs. The advantages of negotiations are efficiency, minimal costs, maintaining good business relationships, and the absence of third-party involvement. Our team of lawyers will take the initiative in conducting negotiations on your behalf, representing your interests while guaranteeing transparency and fairness in reaching an agreement.
- Mediation is an alternative method of dispute resolution in which a third, independent person acts as a mediator, helping the parties in conflict reach a mutually acceptable solution. Our lawyers act as intermediaries between the parties, facilitating communication and working to find a solution acceptable to both sides. Mediation is particularly useful in family disputes (divorce, custody).
- Arbitration represents another extrajudicial method of dispute resolution, which, unlike other extrajudicial methods, results in a legally binding decision. The existence of a legally binding decision is the similarity between the arbitration process and judicial proceedings, with the difference being that arbitration is generally faster, less formal, and typically less expensive. Our team of lawyers provides support throughout the entire process, from preparing evidence to representing you before the arbitrator.
- Judicial Procedure is the method of resolving disputes that provides the greatest legal certainty. Our experienced lawyers provide legal assistance throughout the entire judicial process, from its initiation to its conclusion. Regardless of the type of judicial procedure, our law firm will professionally and diligently represent you.
