In situations where a dispute or disagreement already exists before or after the final settlement, you may need external assistance to resolve the situation. At Paradigme, we have been working with dispute resolution for over ten years, and we have the expertise and experience to enable us to handle disagreements in the best possible way.
Develop strategies
Construction projects can give rise to a variety of disputes, including disagreements on progress or finances. If you contact us in connection with a dispute, we will sit down with you and examine the material you have available to get an overview of the situation. From there, we will work with you to develop strategies to deal with the dispute.
Presentation of facts
We can assist with mediation, arbitration decisions and various aspects of legal processes. Our focus is always on an objective presentation of facts and circumstances. In such processes, our role is related to the collection of documentation and the presentation of facts on behalf of our client. In addition, we can assist your lawyers by providing them with presentations and reports that they can incorporate in their proceedings or as appendices to subpoenas.
Mediation expertise and arbitration decisions
We have staff with mediation expertise who can help you through the mediation process and who also have expertise in arbitration decisions. An arbitration decision can be either binding or non-binding (advisory). All assignments related to arbitration decisions and mediation processes are subject to the usual disqualification rules.
Expert witness for independent verification
It is becoming increasingly common to bring in an expert witness to give their opinion of a case. Expert witnesses are brought in by one or both of the parties to elucidate areas of the project that need independent verification and to assess which matters are of material importance. At Paradigme, we have experience from numerous Scandinavian cases where we have prepared extensive reports. These documents serve as the foundation for our expert testimony, are presented in cases to illustrate the wishes of one or both parties and form the basis for our assessment of the case.
