Negotiation and Mediation

Generally speaking, reindeer are peaceful animals. Reindeer tend to stay in herds, work together and are herbivores. That said, every now and then reindeer lock horns – they get stuck.

It is near impossible for these reindeer to split apart without help from an outside source.

When stuck and unable to move forward, the two reindeer suffer an inevitable fate: they will starve, or be picked off easily by predators.

Just like reindeer, people can lock horns, and it is often difficult for both parties to walk away without help from an outside source.

We are nationally accredited Mediators and trained negotiators.  When our business clients find themselves in a dispute it is not always in everyone’s best interest to head straight to litigation.  We assist in looking at situations from a different perspective with commercial insight and acumen.  Where appropriate we can either negotiate a situation on your behalf or formally mediate.  With experience in litigation support our negotiation services always take into account the potential need at some stage to go to litigation and so we gather information in a sensitive and informative manner to keep all options open.

Negotiation is about knowing the facts and looking for a WIN-WIN outcome and expanding the options of thought based on strategy.  To this end we focus not only on the facts but also human behaviours and objectives.
