Our team has substantial experience in working with senior executives to manage, settle and resolve termination of employment and related employment disputes.
At your first meeting with us and after hearing your situation, we will advise you whether:
- To write to the other party to hold a Without Prejudice Meeting to discuss the issues with a view to settle the matter;
- To invite the other party to resolve the dispute amicably through private mediation;
- To issue a Letter of Demand to ask for specific performance of a clause of the contract or damages for a breach of the contract ; or
- To pursue any other cause of action to protect your rights and interests in the matter.
Mediation for Corporate Dispute Resolution
Over the years, mediation has become an increasingly attractive option for companies seeking effective solutions for dispute settlement, conflict management, and even conflict prevention. There are several reasons why mediation is often preferred over litigation and arbitration.
First and foremost, mediation helps companies save both time and money. It’s not only about the legal fees associated with adversarial proceedings; it’s also the opportunity costs.
The human and financial resources that companies allocate to prolonged court battles could instead be invested in operations and expansion. Unlike complex litigation, which can drag on for years, mediation allows parties to reach agreements much more swiftly.
Additionally, even when a company achieves a favorable litigation outcome, enforcement of a judgment can present challenges. By contrast, mediation settlements are typically honored, as they are voluntarily entered into by all parties. This differs from arbitration, where an arbitrator adjudicates the dispute, rather than relying on mutual agreement.
For many companies, the confidentiality of mediation is invaluable. The process is conducted on a without-prejudice basis, preserving the corporate reputation. Whether a company reaches an agreement through mediation or not, the process itself has no adverse impact on its commercial goodwill.
Mediation is especially useful in resolving disputes across various areas, including:
- Contractual disputes
- Landlord and tenancy issues
- Employment disputes
- Shareholder disagreements
- Partnership disputes
- Disputes between companies and external parties or other businesses
At GJC Law, we take on the role of an independent and neutral mediator, facilitate communication and help parties reach a mutually-acceptable solution.
