Disputes and mediation
Before the courtroom, there is always a possible negotiation.
Why work with us
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.
Situations we handle
- ✦ 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
Our approach, step by step
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.
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.
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.
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.
