Dispute Resolution

  • MGM Partnership has been retained by numerous third parties, both defending and presenting claims on their behalf, in many dispute resolutions.
  • We have been involved in mediations, conciliations and arbitrations and several negotiated settlements for various clients.
  • MGM Partnership can provide comprehensive advice as to the merits of the various points of claims and provide expert guidance to the parties in dispute.
  • In most cases, we are of the view a negotiated settlement is the preferred outcome due to the cost and uncertainty associated with the legal route for resolving disputes.
  • However, in some cases there may be no option but to pursue the legal route – the critical thing is for our clients to make these decisions on an informed basis.
