Dispute Resolution is one of the corner stones of the Firm’s practice. We understand that our Clients’ day to day business dealings may result in disputes and therefore step in to provide dispute resolution services.

While the firm offers the primary dispute resolution service of litigation, we recognise that it is not always the best solution for our Clients. Our Dispute Resolution practice will therefore always provide a critical and pragmatic analysis of the risks and potential costs for Clients before deciding on which form of dispute resolution (litigation, arbitration, mediation and negotiation) is to be pursued. The analysis considers our Clients’ business objectives, brand, reputation and overall best interests.

Our Dispute Resolution Practice provides advice and representation on all forms of dispute resolution and at all levels of dispute resolution; our team is not only experienced but also qualified to appear before any dispute resolution fora in Zambia and is equally qualified and experienced to take on dispute resolution at an international level.

“Dispute Resolution is not always about dragging your opponent to Court for time consuming, costly and image damaging litigation. Gill & Seph offers Clients, on a case by case basis, a variety of cost effective and time conscious dispute resolution mechanisms considering the individual Client’s interest and business goals.”
