Litigation & ADR
At A&CO, our team provides expert representation in local and GCC legal matters, whether through litigation or alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. We believe in fully exploring and exhausting settlement opportunities before moving to litigation or other forms of dispute resolution. Our focus is on finding solutions that meet the client’s needs while managing their expectations. By prioritising settlement, we aim to resolve disputes quickly, reduce costs, and maintain positive relationships, always keeping the client’s best interests in mind.
With extensive experience in managing court cases and ADR processes, we handle everything from petition filing and case registration to expert meetings, notices and judgment execution, ensuring a comprehensive approach to resolving your legal matters efficiently.
