Dispute Resolution
Dispute Resolution skilled lawyers with a focus on handling intricate legal disputes. We are dedicated to offering practical solutions that put our client’s needs first and, whenever feasible, promote cooperative resolutions. According to HBS LAW, dispute resolution is the process of resolving conflicts through litigation or alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Our chairman and managing partners lead and supervise our practice group, which is made up of senior, seasoned, highly educated, and skilled attorneys, throughout the whole case-handling process.
By tenaciously working toward client satisfaction, HBS LAW has established good relationships with the major governmental bodies and pertinent players in Cambodia.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
ADR refers to the dispute resolution process, which is less formal and has more flexible rules than a trial court. HBS LAW commits its endurance to assist the disputants with fast-track results, adopting distributive bargaining in every dispute resolution process. Those are negotiation, reconciliation, mediation, and arbitration. Our team of well-trained and trusted lawyers will accompany and represent the client and participate in the dispute-resolution process. In terms of handling commercial disputes, our outstanding and extensive experience lawyers represent the client before the National Commercial Arbitration of Cambodia.
Our practice group is equipped with entrusted resources to serve the interests of clients. We are committed to achieving the best possible outcome for our clients through these alternative methods, ensuring their rights and interests are protected every step of the way.
