What is dispute resolution?
If a disagreement has arisen between two parties that they are unable to resolve, a dispute has arisen. Then you need help to resolve the dispute.
What can I get help with in a dispute?
The law firm Halvorsen & Co has extensive experience in resolving disputes in and out of court. Many disputes are mainly about disagreements over facts.
Clarifying the facts of a case is therefore essential. We are happy to co-operate with experts to find out the correct facts.
What is an out-of-court settlement?
Our goal is always to try to avoid costly litigation. Achieving the best possible settlement for our clients is therefore important to us. Negotiations at an early stage can yield good results, and we will endeavour to achieve good amicable solutions as soon as the opportunity arises.
Our goal is to achieve the best possible result for our clients, which also takes account of process economics.
There are many advantages to an out-of-court settlement.
- The parties agree on a solution to the case. This can be important if the parties are to remain in contact after the case has been finalised.
- It is usually quicker and cheaper to negotiate an out-of-court settlement than to settle the case in court
- The parties avoid unwanted publicity about the case
- An out-of-court settlement reduces the financial risk that court proceedings often entail for our clients
What is judicial dispute resolution in civil cases?
If it is not possible to reach an agreement with the other party, we will work with you to assess whether the case should be brought before the courts. We have extensive experience with:
- Assessing whether you have a good or bad case - process risk assessment
- Assessment of how great the financial risk will be for you
- Drafting a summons to the court
- Drafting of defence, appeal, reply to appeal or other pleadings
- Conduct of main hearing and appeal hearing
- Court mediation
Before a main hearing, the court often offers mediation. The aim is for the parties to reach a legal settlement without having to go through a costly main hearing. A judge will act as an assistant to the parties during the settlement negotiations.
If the parties manage to reach a court settlement, it will not be necessary to go to court.
In large and difficult cases, we are happy to put together a team of experienced lawyers to make the work more efficient.
We are happy to litigate your case even if there are other lawyers who have previously assisted you with the case.
