What We Offer

We offer high quality yet cost effective services for all kinds of business disputes. As a global first, we offer special expertise for the resolution of disputes arising out of smart contracts on the Blockchain.

Mediation

Relies on a specially trained neutral to work with the parties to help them understand their respective positions in fact and law and, if possible, facilitate a consensual settlement of the dispute.

Arbitration

Is different from mediation in the sense that one or three neutrals, after trying to facilitate a settlement, can actually impose a decision that can be enforced.
