Most disputes don't begin in court

A company once entered into a vendor agreement without clearly defining deliverables and timelines.

Things worked fine—initially.
But as expectations started differing, delays increased, and payments were held,
and communication broke down.

What could have been resolved early turned into a formal dispute.
And eventually, litigation.

Not because of one big mistake - but because key details were never clearly defined.

This is how most disputes begin.
Not suddenly, but gradually.
