HELP with your dispute
Organising a Dispute Resolution process? Need HELP?
Courts are increasingly sending matters for external dispute resolution processes (especially mediation). But there are no protocols as to how, or who organises the mediation. This can get especially complex as the number of parties increases.
We can administer your dispute resolution process, including organising the neutral, the venue and the date when all parties can attend. It is easier than doing it yourself.
