Strategic & Tailored Services
Merits Review & Case Assessment
Independent early-stage assessment of the merits of a dispute, including legal strengths and weaknesses, jurisdictional and admissibility issues, procedural risks and strategic positioning. Where appropriate, this assessment may be complemented by a 360° analysis, including enforcement prospects, recoverability considerations and asset-related issues, allowing clients to assess whether arbitration is, in practical and strategic terms, the appropriate course of action. This service is also offered in support of third-party funding assessments, providing funders and funded parties with an independent and rigorous evaluation of a dispute.
Negotiation & Dispute Strategy Assessment
Strategic advice on whether, when and how to engage in negotiations, taking into account leverage, timing, procedural posture and broader commercial, political or institutional considerations.
Independent Second Opinions
Independent strategic reviews for clients, boards, or counsel at any stage of a dispute or arbitration, particularly in high-stakes or complex matters where an external and experienced perspective is required.
Collaboration
Targeted collaboration with other lawyers and law firms on a punctual basis, where additional expertise, sector-specific familiarity, or reinforcement of existing teams is required. ND Law also provides independent merits and risk assessments to third-party funders and funded parties, supporting funding decisions where internal resources are limited.
