Proactive Management from Pre-Dispute to Resolution

Disputes go through several stages before reaching court, and the role of a legal consultant is vital in managing them early. Nour Attorneys provides a team of litigation lawyers that works in a highly professional manner to represent clients during all stages, starting with the pre-dispute phase. This requires preparing all substantial evidence and wisely representing the client to build the strongest possible position before any litigation begins.

Strategic Preparation Before a Dispute Arises

During this stage, our team assists with all pre-litigation procedures, including communicating with the counterparty and drafting letters of claim. We guide clients to provide or collect evidence that strengthens their position, such as sending specific, lawyer-reviewed correspondence to deny facts or obtain written confirmations on matters that may become subjects of a future dispute.

Professional Guidance When a Dispute Escalates

If a dispute arises that could lead to civil or commercial litigation, our team assists by responding to the other party’s correspondence, ensuring consistency with all available documents. We help clients avoid acknowledging or disclosing anything that could have negative consequences in court. Furthermore, we send all required legal notices to either discharge our client of responsibility or request the other party to remedy a breach, aiming to resolve the dispute amicably and avoid litigation costs.

Pursuing Amicable Resolutions

When both parties are willing to find an amicable solution, our lawyers represent our clients in negotiation and settlement meetings. We present our client’s views with supporting evidence and disprove the opponent’s claims to achieve a satisfactory settlement. This is all done within the framework authorized by the client to avoid court proceedings unless they decide against a settlement.

Why Settling Before Litigation is the Smarter Choice

Settling disputes amicably before resorting to courts offers significant benefits for both parties. It is always preferable to attempt a settlement to save on litigation fees, reduce non-refundable costs like lawyer and translation fees, and secure a financial return sooner. It also allows you to avoid the extended duration of litigation, freeing you to focus your attention on the future of your business or career.

How to Ensure Your Settlement is Enforceable

To properly resolve a dispute before litigation, you must be aware of how to secure the agreement. This includes receiving a significant portion of the settlement amount upon signing, obtaining payment guarantees like post-dated cheques, and getting an executive warrant from a Notary Public to ensure direct enforcement in case of a breach. Above all, always consult a lawyer to review any settlement agreement.
