THE TASK
Start with the right facts.
For business leaders and counsel, the first challenge in a dispute is seeing the facts, contract and objective together. An assessment can organise the chronology and evidence before a notice, negotiation, arbitration or litigation decision.

USEFUL TO KNOW
Before you begin.
What is useful for an initial dispute assessment?
The agreement, correspondence, payment or performance records and a dated account of events can help define the issues.
When might arbitration be relevant?
The contract, parties and nature of the dispute help determine whether arbitration is an available route.
How is a recovery claim evaluated?
The claimed amount, supporting records, counterclaims and practical prospects of collection all matter.
