Mediation
Resolving a complex contractual dispute through confidential mediation preserving long-term business relationships
Two regional companies became embroiled in a contractual dispute relating to delays, penalties and variations. Despite rising tension, both parties valued their long-standing partnership and sought a private, non-adversarial solution. Taswiyeh facilitated a structured mediation that allowed open discussion under strict confidentiality. Joint sessions clarified misunderstandings, while private caucuses enabled parties to reassess expectations and explore settlement options safely. Through reframed communication, objective criteria and a focus on shared business interests, the parties reached a balanced agreement covering revised timelines, adjusted payments and preventive measures for future projects. Mediation preserved the commercial relationship, avoided costly escalation and delivered an outcome that both sides considered fair, practical and sustainable.

Key Activities Performed for Mediation
We established a structured yet flexible setting that encouraged candid dialogue. Confidentiality protocols allowed parties to express concerns freely without fear of disclosure. This openness clarified interests, reduced misunderstandings and created space for genuine problem-solving. The secure environment was essential for rebuilding trust and guiding parties toward compromise.
Joint meetings were used to surface key concerns, challenge incorrect assumptions and realign expectations. Through neutral facilitation, we helped parties focus on interests rather than accusations. This shift in tone revealed shared goals that formed the basis for a workable resolution and prevented further escalation.
In confidential caucuses, parties openly assessed their risks, alternatives and priorities. We assisted them in evaluating proposed solutions realistically while exploring creative options. This step brought clarity on workable concessions and contributed significantly to reaching a mutually acceptable settlement.
Once consensus was achieved, we prepared a structured settlement document capturing all essential terms. This ensured enforceability, prevented future disputes and provided a reliable roadmap for implementation. The written agreement represented a durable conclusion to the conflict.
