Dispute Analysis
Unwinding your disputes
Disputes are unfortunately unavoidable in today’s business world.
Even after meticulous negotiations, contracts can lead to disputes between parties as a result of differences in interpretation. Complex management issues often need to be clarified and taken into account when resolving conflicts.
In order to weigh pros and cons prior to proceedings or negotiations, it pays off to know all the consequences of a specific dispute.
PwC Dispute Analysis supports businesses through management analyses, clarification of issues, or by presenting expert evidence in court or other tribunal hearings.
Our in-depth dispute analysis clarifies your legal, economic and social position in detail and enables you to take the initiative in a legal procedure or arbitration.
Our teams of lawyers, accountants, criminologists, behavioural economists and ICT-specialists, have a broad experience with local and international disputes and how to unwind them. We know what to expect in legal proceedings and arbitrations and what is needed to prepare for them. We can act as arbitrators ourselves, and assemble expert teams for all jurisdictions required.
We can help you (and your lawyer) to:
- provide insight into the available information and make an initial calculation of your damages. This initial calculation will enable you to determine what your next steps will be;
- substantiate your position in relation to the damages suffered in a way that makes clear to all parties involved how the calculation of damages was determined;
- provide binding advice. In this case, you and the other party (or parties) involved put your dispute to the experts of PwC. Parties jointly determine the process to be followed as well as the criteria to be used and the principles for calculating and distributing damages. PwC then rules on the matters in dispute, which is binding on all parties.
