Assess the evidence, legal route, settlement options and potential enforcement.
Preparing a Dispute File for a Kenyan Advocate
Arrange the agreement, correspondence, payment records and important notices in date order. Explain the dispute in a short chronology and identify the legal parties. A large unlabelled document bundle can make it harder to locate the issue that needs an urgent decision.
Separate confirmed facts from disputed statements and identify the outcome sought. Tell the advocate about existing proceedings, prior advisers and any court or contractual deadline. A focused file supports an assessment of the next legal step and the evidence still required.
Comparing Negotiation and Litigation Instructions
Identify the decision that needs to be made and whether a proceeding or dispute clause already determines the route. Advice about options, settlement negotiation and court representation can be different engagements. Compare what each proposal includes and which immediate deadlines are being handled.
Ask about the records, stages and potential costs that may follow if the matter does not settle. Clarify the authority to negotiate and how offers will be approved. No proposal should be treated as a promise that litigation or negotiation will deliver a particular result.
Compare the Proposed Work
Agree which documents are reviewed, what advice is supplied and who handles follow-up. Clarify costs, assumptions and any separate specialist work. Identify deadlines and how changes will be reported.
