Alternative Dispute Resolution
& Conflict Management

Smarter resolution for complex disputes

We have a team of ADR practitioners with both practical and academic training in the aforementioned field. We offer arbitration, mediation and ombudsman functions to clients. We help our clients to tailor the said fields in a way that suits their organisational culture.

At the same time, we are able to represent clients at different Arbitral tribunals and Mediation Centers both locally and internationally. We combine both advocacy and negotiations skills to navigate the most complex of situations.

Mediation

We provide professional mediation services and advise parties throughout structured mediation processes — facilitating confidential, interest-based negotiations that preserve commercial relationships and deliver durable, mutually acceptable resolutions.

Arbitration

We represent clients as counsel in domestic and international arbitration proceedings, and our practitioners sit as arbitrators. We advise on arbitral rules including ICC, LCIA, ICSID, and the Centre for Arbitration and Dispute Resolution (CADER) in Uganda.

Negotiated Settlement

We assist clients in structuring and conducting direct negotiations aimed at resolving commercial, contractual, and regulatory disputes efficiently — deploying skilled advocates to achieve optimal outcomes without recourse to formal proceedings.

Adjudication & Expert Determination

We advise on adjudication in construction and infrastructure disputes, and on expert determination procedures for technical, financial, and valuation matters — providing a fast and binding alternative to litigation.

Conflict Management Advisory

We provide strategic pre-dispute advisory services — helping organisations identify conflict risks, design dispute escalation clauses, and implement internal conflict management frameworks that reduce the likelihood and cost of formal disputes.

Cross-Border Dispute Resolution

Through our professional networks and experience in multi-jurisdictional matters, we advise on the enforcement of arbitral awards, the recognition of foreign judgments, and the selection of optimal dispute resolution forums for cross-border transactions.

Industries we serve

Our ADR practice serves clients across a broad range of industries, bringing sector-specific insight to every dispute resolution mandate.

Dispute Assessment

We begin with a thorough assessment of the dispute — analysing the merits, the commercial context, the parties involved, and the best available process to achieve a swift and favourable resolution.

Process Selection

We advise on the most appropriate ADR mechanism for the circumstances — whether mediation, arbitration, expert determination, or structured negotiation — taking into account contractual provisions and jurisdictional factors.

Representation & Advocacy

We prepare and present our clients' cases with the same rigour as in litigation — marshalling evidence, preparing submissions, and deploying skilled advocates to advance our clients' positions at every stage.

Enforcement & Follow-Through

We advise on the enforcement of arbitral awards and mediated settlements — including under the New York Convention — ensuring that resolutions are given full legal effect across the relevant jurisdictions.
