FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Dispute Resolution.
Should a commercial dispute go to court or arbitration?
The answer depends on the contract, the dispute-resolution clause, urgency, confidentiality, enforceability and the relief required. KDH reviews the forum and procedural strategy before proceedings are commenced.
Can KDH handle shareholder and director disputes?
Yes. The firm advises on governance breakdowns, shareholder rights, directors’ duties, access to information, deadlock, negotiated exits and formal dispute proceedings.
Can urgent interim protection be sought?
Where appropriate, urgent steps may be needed to preserve assets, evidence, confidential information or the commercial status quo while the main dispute is resolved.
