No one wants a legal dispute, but when they happen, the best strategy is to get advice at the earliest possible stage, preferably before the courts get involved. Depending on the circumstances, your best advice may be to take steps (legal or otherwise) right away. If despite our best efforts, litigation becomes unavoidable, you still have a number of options (summons in regular proceedings, preliminary relief proceedings, arbitration, etc.). You can also seize assets as security for your claim or to obtain the surrender of property.
