Dispute Assessment
Review of facts, contracts, correspondence, evidence and legal position.
MALF helps clients assess commercial disputes, understand legal exposure, organise the relevant documents and choose a proportionate strategy for negotiation, settlement, arbitration or court proceedings.
We focus on early decision-making: what the client wants to achieve, what the evidence supports, where leverage exists, and which route is commercially sensible. Court advocacy, where required, is handled through appropriately authorised counsel or the relevant professional office.
