Our Approach to Dispute Resolution

Achieving favourable outcomes efficiently and preserving business relationships through expert alternative dispute resolution

At Asewe Atieno Advocates LLP, we understand that commercial disputes are inevitable, but costly and public litigation is not. Our Arbitration and Mediation practice is dedicated to providing clients with sophisticated, efficient, and private mechanisms for resolving conflicts. We leverage our deep commercial acumen and industry-specific knowledge to navigate disputes strategically, aiming not just to win, but to find solutions that preserve value and protect our clients’ long-term interests.

We act as both advocates for clients in arbitral proceedings and as mediators facilitating settlement between parties. Our dual expertise allows us to craft compelling arguments for tribunals and to structure creative, durable settlement agreements.
