Disputes are a normal part of our life today. Understanding and resolving a dispute in a responsible and business-like manner has never been more crucial. Being involved in a dispute can be a stressful, time-consuming, and costly process, and we help with our clients to minimize this stress.

Our Dispute Resolution team is recognized in legal directories for its experience. We have a track record of effectively representing clients in high-profile, high-stakes, and complicated litigation, especially in times of crisis. We are well-known for representing clients in matters involving significant claims of misconduct and fraud and are adept at adopting prompt, proactive measures, such as dealing with injunctions.

Frequently, our clients wish to maintain a business or personal relationship and prevent the negative publicity that can accompany a disagreement. In such situations, we are able to work with our clients to bypass the courtroom in favor of more practical and cost-effective alternatives, such as mediation or other types of alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

Our Civil dispute resolution options in Côte d'Ivoire include:

1. Alternative Dispute Resolution
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) should be utilized prior to filing a lawsuit whenever possible. Round table negotiations, mediation, conciliation, and arbitration are some of the alternative dispute resolution processes that can be utilized. There are also other approaches.
If you can avoid a lengthy and complicated trial or the inconvenience of filling out the court documents required to file a civil complaint, you will save time and money.

2. Civil litigation
If alternative dispute resolution is not possible or is ineffective, we may have to file a civil lawsuit to resolve the matter. The legal process isn't easy or quick, but not all cases go to trial, despite what most people think.

How we can help you

Regardless of the basis for a conflict, our civil litigation attorneys recognize that it can be intimidating and unpleasant for all parties involved.
