Litigation
Wynyard Wood litigators get results – by mediation, negotiation or, if necessary, through the Courts. Disputes are dealt with promptly, cost effectively and with minimal disruption to your business.
We care about the disputes our clients face and work hard to achieve the best solution for each by assisting clients to their goal, weighing up the means available and the cost of various alternatives. Our clients appreciate our honest appraisals and direct approach. We will objectively examine the facts, take a measured or aggressive approach as appropriate and keep you up to date with the progress and cost of a dispute.
In many cases, we can apply our experience towards your dispute without going to Court. If negotiation, mediation, arbitration or settlement is appropriate, we explore these opportunities without compromising your ultimate objective. But if these options are impossible, inappropriate or not tactically ideal, we have a proven record in the High Court, Court of Appeal, Employment, Environment and District Courts. We also work within specialist arenas including the Employment Relations Authority, Resource Management in Council and Debt Collection.
