All the lawyers at Al Tamimi & Company seek, first and foremost, to practice a philosophy of ´dispute avoidance´. This involves anticipating areas of conflict with our client´s objectives, before they appear.

Nevertheless, disputes can, and do, arise. Our consistently creative application of a broad range of binding and non-binding alternative dispute resolution mechanisms will, in many cases, remove the need for relatively costly and time consuming litigation.

We are familiar with the techniques of structured negotiation, helping the parties to large contracts establish a formal strategy of communication and commitment and facilitated negotiation where a neutral facilitator is provided to aid parties with serious unresolved disputes resume a co-operative dialogue.

Al Tamimi & Company lawyers specialising in alternative dispute resolution are also fully conversant in all forms of mediation including procedures in which the mediator actively proposes compromise solutions to the parties, as well as procedures in which the mediator remains strictly neutral.
