Commercial dispute resolution

NORMA regularly advises clients in situations where two or more parties to a contract cannot reach agreement. Most disputes are resolved through a voluntary settlement between the parties, see Settlement negotiations. If a settlement cannot be reached, the dispute may instead need to be submitted to judicial review. Essentially, there are two different types of judicial review, general court or arbitration.

It is often a good idea to involve a representative as early as possible when a dispute arises to get help with e.g. complaints. NORMA has extensive experience of carrying out process analyses, i.e. an assessment of the possibility of obtaining justice if a dispute should need to be tried in court. It is important to be informed about likely outcomes and potential risks in order to make an informed decision at an early stage of a dispute. NORMA also provides training for companies in industries where disputes are particularly prevalent and for companies that want to minimise the risk of becoming involved in a dispute at all, see more about what we can offer under training.
