The stages of an IT dispute
A dispute resolution assignment begins with familiarizing ourselves with the subject of the dispute. After examining the facts and documents, we provide our assessment of possible courses of action. Reaching a settlement in the early stages can save the parties a significant amount of time and money. If necessary, we assist in seeking a negotiated solution between the parties.
If a settlement cannot be reached or the parties are unwilling to pursue one, we help delve deeper into the dispute resolution process and related scenarios.

How a lawyer can help you
The lawyer’s role in a dispute is to help the parties identify the core issues of the conflict:
- What exactly is the problem?
- Who can demand what?
- On what grounds?
The law and contracts define what is justified and legally possible. The first step in resolving a dispute is identifying the cause of the error or breach and clarifying the liability issues.
In the further handling of the dispute, the lawyer guides the client in considering which actions make sense next. This includes risk assessment—such as what happens if the dispute proceeds to litigation and what the chances are of winning or losing the case. At the same time, alternatives are examined, such as the possibility of reaching a settlement. The advantage of a settlement is often that it takes both parties’ perspectives into account and leads to a more predictable outcome.
