SMEs & Corporates – Business Dispute Settlements 

Why Litigation & Arbitration Fail SMEs & Corporates

• Court battles drag for 5–10 years.

• Arbitration is formal, rigid, and expensive.
  
  

• Mediation still depends on a neutral third party, who may be unconsciously biased.
  
  

• Delays lock up working capital, strain management time, and damage reputation.
  
  

• The side that wants to delay can exploit the system easily.

Our Approach

Not Lawyers in Court. Not Arbitrators. We Are Negotiators With Business Sense.

We combine:

• Business process knowledge (finance, supply chain, contracts, commercial risk)
  
  

• Strategic negotiation grounded in business realities
  
  

• Legal enforceability through structured MoUs and settlement documents
  
  

How We Differ From Mediation/Arbitration

Most people believe mediation or arbitration is “faster court.”
But these are mini-courtroom systems with procedures, neutrality, and delays.

All third-party processes have a fundamental weakness:

Someone else controls your outcome.

And as the classic story goes — when two otters fought over a fish,
the jackal (neutral third party) walked away with most of the benefit.
This happens in legal forums too: the system eats time, money and attention,
while both parties lose value.

Negotiation Is Different — You Stay in Control

• No neutral deciding your fate
  
  

• No formal procedures slowing you down
  
  

• No location or timing constraints
  
  

• Creativity, bargaining chips, and commercial leverage drive the outcome
  
  

• The other party participates because it is in their self-interest, not because a judge ordered it
  
  

Why Negotiation Is Becoming the Global Standard

Even though the UN and WTO exist (just like our legal system),
nations resolve disputes only through hard negotiation:
sanctions, tariffs, rare-earth restrictions, market access deals, back-channel diplomacy.

Because in the real world:

Negotiation moves things — procedure does not.

We apply the same approach for your business disputes, with legal backing.
