Dispute Resolution Philosophy
Twesigye advocates for a tiered approach to conflict resolution:
- Mediation and Arbitration are prioritized as primary tools—ensuring efficiency, confidentiality, and enforceability.
- Litigation is pursued only as a final resort, when alternative mechanisms fail or strategic interests demand judicial intervention.
This philosophy reflects a commitment to preserving relationships, minimizing disruption, and achieving commercially sound outcomes.
