Disputes and mediation

Before the courtroom, there is always a possible negotiation.

A commercial dispute, or one between partners, does not have to end in court. In most cases a well-run negotiation reaches an agreement faster, at lower cost, and far more confidentially than the judicial route. We act as a trusted third party or strategic adviser, to create the conditions for an agreement both sides accept.

When we step in

Commercial disputes between partners or suppliers
Conflicts between partners or co-founders
Contractual disagreements before proceedings are filed
Pre-litigation mediation, whether imposed or chosen
Renegotiating terms after a breach

How we work

1
Analysing positions and interests

We separate what each party demands (their position) from what they are actually after (their interests). That analysis opens up room for agreement that is invisible from the trenches of a dispute.

2
Assessing the judicial balance of power

We help you assess your odds objectively should it go to court: costs, delays, uncertainty, media risk. That lets you negotiate with clear eyes rather than with anger.

3
Facilitating the mediation

We create a structured negotiation setting, away from judicial pressure, where the parties can speak without locking themselves into new positions. We are there so the agreement emerges, not to arbitrate.

4
Drafting the settlement protocol

A verbal agreement is not enough. We help formalise the terms precisely and robustly, so that no ambiguity reopens the dispute six months later.
