Our Process
A collaborative, flexible and confidential path to resolution. The framework can run before or after a dispute and alongside negotiation, mediation, conciliation, adjudication, arbitration or expert determination—always tailored to the case and recorded in a simple process agreement.
Where It Fits
Negotiation
Structured prep, disciplined bargaining and document ready closure.
Mediation / Conciliation
Neutral facilitation to unlock settlement while preserving relationships.
Adjudication
Interim binding decisions (e.g., construction) to protect cash flow and progress.
Arbitration
Procedural discipline, tribunal coordination and award enforceability in focus.
Expert Determination
Targeted, technical determinations on valuation, quantum or specification issues.
Hybrid
Combine modes (e.g., med arb) with clear transitions and safeguards.
