Litigation through the courts can prove extremely costly and, given the ever-burgeoning court rolls together with the litany of potential appeals, the delay in an ultimate resolution has the potential to create considerable uncertainty. In short, when a company is involved in long-running litigation, its productivity can be disrupted significantly. Key personnel will spend substantial amounts of time dealing with lawyers and attending court, as well as possibly handling media-related enquiries.

A speedy and cost-effective alternative is for companies to use the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services of the Companies Tribunal, which is an agency of the department of trade, industry & competition, established in terms of the Companies Act. At Reimagine Corporate we provide ADR services aimed at resolving disputes through mediation, conciliation and arbitration, as well as providing advice in relation to ADR processes.
