There are a number of ways to achieve dispute resolution in commercial relationships. You can go to your lawyers and seek redress through litigation, you can seek arbitration, or you can try mediation. That’s where we come in. We work with clients throughout Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough too.
Mediation is a consensual, flexible, confidential and relatively informal method of dispute resolution where we assist parties to work towards a negotiated settlement of their dispute. The parties retain control of the decision whether or not to settle and on what terms. Our role is to facilitate the meetings, so all gain a better understanding and appreciation of the other’s positions; we then work together with everyone to explore and refine options for resolution.
As the scope of commerce is broad; so is the potential for commercial mediation as the primary means of resolving disputes. The dispute may be a competitor, key supplier, project, regulatory, financial, insurance, staffing, or reputational risk, to name some. Mediation is a particularly good solution where there is an ongoing relationship; resolution without relationship destruction.
There may not even be a dispute as such, we have the experience to assist parties in deal mediation, helping resolve any issues preventing a mutually beneficial conclusion to a stalled negotiation.
All partners in ResolveIt have extensive commercial experience, having been business owners, executives, board members or employees at various times. This, coupled with our total independence, gives us a unique perspective to assist parties in resolving any commercial dispute. We are equally comfortable working directly with the parties, but also with a legal representative or advocates as so desired.
We offer dispute resolution services throughout Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough and can help you manage your commercial relationship disputes.
