Commercial & Contractual Disputes

Litigation is costly, complex and takes you away from what you do best: growing your business.

Conflicts are a part of doing business, but they are distracting and a drain on your finances, time and energy. We help you avoid litigation by looking through the emotional smokescreen to identify the real issues at an early stage.

Redchip comes on board as soon as you notice a hint of trouble. We know the right questions to ask in order to provide you with clear, concise advice that helps you get the upper hand.

We believe that the focus should be on the resolution, not the dispute. We work with all parties to actively seek resolution through negotiation, mediation and other dispute resolution techniques. We know how the system works and how to use it so that you can get back to business as quickly as possible.

We achieve this through:

  • Expedient problem solving and recognising real issues at an early stage to reduce the length of the process and costs
  • Early and honest assessment of our clients’ prospects, and provision of clear-headed commercial advice

Should litigation be the only solution, your commercial reality is at the core of all our advice. We appreciate that you will have to make crucial decisions quickly, and these decisions can have serious implications for all parties involved. We understand that you can only make these decisions when you are armed with the prompt advice that takes into account all legal and commercial requirements.
