Our Strengths

“We help you achieve an outcome that delivers certainty.”

Certainty is achieved by incorporating into the process:

  • Flexibility with procedures tailored to suit the needs of each party
  • Confidentiality with mediation conducted in private and no need to disclose the discussions and basis upon which a matter is resolved
  • Convenience for the parties and informality of process
  • Strong emphasis on control of the decision making given to the parties involved
  • Savings on legal costs with some outcomes far wider than the scope available in court
  • Speedier resolutions than in court
  • Consensual arrangement and participation, with parties free to leave at any time
  • Extensive experience in developing appropriate dispute resolution models for organisations.
