Pyments Dispute Avoidance

Despite having spent decades in dispute resolution, successfully resolving disputes on behalf of Clients, our company ethos is actually one of prevention not cure. We have been deploying dispute prevention principles and techniques for our Clients for many years and our practical non contentious advice and support ensures our Clients get things right from the outset.

That said, we have earned a first class reputation for our ability to understand, forensically interrogate, substantiate, present and agree Client’s claims. In most instances this has been achieved on a consensual basis.
