| Conflict is an unavoidable part of life and disputes occur in many arenas and at many levels. These can range from simple disputes between neighbours, arguments between family members over the terms of a will or disputes with banks or insurance companies through to complex multi-party litigation involving parties in other jurisdictions. When people or organizations are involved in such disputes they want them resolved and, very frequently, they want to maintain a relationship with those involved.
