There are more lawyers around than ever before. People are increasingly aware of their rights, have more money and are less willing to let things go.While not encouraging you to back away from the legal disputes that you can win, this book will give you the foresight to avoid or minimise disputes in the first place which is often the most effective but least popular option. Sun Tzu : "Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. Next, attacking in the field. The worst strategy is to besiege, as prolonged warfare is expensive".This book not only covers court actions, but fights with government departments, multi-nationals, club committees, your spouse, neighbours and all sorts of other people and organisations that wind you up.Sun Tzu : "Know the enemy and yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. Know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle".If a Chinese Warlord could temper decisive and sometimes highly aggressive action with planning and caution, so can you pause to consider the consequences of your actions and plan accordingly. It is so often the difference between victory and defeat.This book combines the qualities of a useful book on litigation with wry humour and the odd belly laugh. Whether you are a corporate warrior, small business owner or professional advisor, it will keep you amused while providing you with insights and the understanding to manage risk.
