Lyson Law encourages its clients to avoid unnecessary litigation by employing zero case strategies, based on the principle that “Prevention is better than a cure”. This is achieved through assisting our clients to conduct regular in-house compliance checks based on each client’s unique business model coupled with the provision of well researched legal opinions as and when requested thus mitigating risk factors that may lead to litigation. We are of the firm belief that litigation should always be a last resort. However, in the case of contentious disputes, should mediation and arbitration fail, the Team at Lyson Law shall always be prepared to defend our Clients’ interests with vigour.
