S H Lawyers has:

provided trusted, responsive, effective and affordable professional legal and related services since 2002; and 


extensive experience in a wide range of transactions and dispute and conflict management and resolution areas, including complex commercial, real estate, business and international matters involving delicate negotiations, and we assist with identifying and providing the best solutions.


Despite aiming to keep matters properly on track and to avoid or prevent disputes arising, even the best agreements sometimes fail and the resulting disputes often become lengthy and costly due to inefficient and inappropriate options chosen for managing them.  


Reasonable parties usually wish to resolve their issues, complete their transactions and get back to business as early and as cost effectively as possible, making it critical that parties are aware of appropriate options, and that they also have experienced representation throughout.


Even the Supreme Court has noted the attitude of Shaun Henriques and his tendency to press for efficiency and early resolution of disputes. In CLAIM NO. C.L. 2002/R 031- Reid et al. v. Pinchas et al at paragraph 21, Sykes J. reasoned:


"... Mr. Henriques submitted, the claimants were left in no doubt, arising from previous applications to strike out the claim, that the defendants would seek every available opportunity to get rid of the claim without a trial. In short, Mr. Henriques was submitting that a claimant faced with an unless order and a very hostile defendant who left no stone unturned to dismiss the claim, must act with due haste. In my view, these are very telling observations..."
