A civil dispute often starts with private negotiation. How to start the negotiation is crucial to getting a better outcome.
For a successful negotiation strategy, analyzing evidence fully and discussing strong and weak points of the case from the start is very important.
Frequently handled cases include labor issues such as wrongful dismissal, proposing retirement, wage cuts and commercial disputes, especially related to white collar crime such as embezzlement, fraud and breach of trust.
