“Resolving disputes could be simple – it is a pity that people are not.
Dispute Resolution is the fine balance of strategy, process, timing and trust.
Litigation is a fine balance too, but there is often no level of trust. When there is a level of trust, nearly anything is possible.
You should not require the expertise of both, but often, you just do.” – Evatt Styles
Evatt Styles is an Accredited Specialist in Dispute Resolution, and his skill and knowledge in constructively resolving disputes is recognised by his membership of the Advisory Committee for Accredited Specialist- Dispute Resolution that assesses candidates (sub-committee of the Law Society of NSW).
Of course, all weapons should be available at the client’s option, and Evatt is also an Accredited Specialist in Commercial Litigation.
Evatt has an international perspective. He is widely travelled with a sound understanding of people and cultures with family ties in Hong Kong and Singapore, broadened by significant periods in Germany and Europe, arising from scholarships and various roles/internships at various courts and firms.
