Dispute Resolution >> Focus Areas

Intra-organizational
Issues within an organization can bring productivity to a grinding halt, lower morale to dangerous levels, and destroy profitability and effectiveness.

If your organization is experiencing internal conflict and frequent disputes we can help. Whether the tensions exist between groups or individuals we can help create solutions, resolve important issues, and get things back on track.


Corporate Governance
Board-management relationships can be tricky. Most organizations experience similar struggles and have similar experiences at the board level. Through our training and facilitation services we work with you to identify trouble areas, work through specific issues, and design long-term structural solutions to increase the effectiveness and dispute resolution capabilities of the board.


Mergers and Acquisitions
Disputes are predictable in M&A situations…and positive. They indicate passion and rather than hidden those disputes should be brought out into the light and leveraged. Whenever two organizations come together they bring with them two distinct sets of values. There are sure to be inconsistencies between these, despite the best efforts of bankers and attorneys.

Our services in M&A situations are designed to help plan for these predictable events prior to the merger, and to support you in designing solutions during and post merger.


Change Initiatives
Change may be the single biggest cause of conflict and dispute. Initiating change is a tough job and creates real or perceived risk for stakeholders. We can help you manage change initiatives including corporate restructurings, reorganizations, changes in leadership, compensation, or service/product offerings.

We will work closely with you to understand where the likely issues may arise and design and deliver communications to respond to those issues.


Inter-organizational
Disputes between companies, groups, or other external entities put business goals at risk and jeopardize the overall health and success of the organization if not resolved appropriately.

We work with you to address issues that arise with partner companies, competitors, advertisers, vendors, service providers, and other external organizations.
