Services & Approach
When Do You Need Help?
If you can get multiple parties to discuss deals calmly and rationally, you probably don't need a neutral third party to close the transaction.
If the law and facts are clearly on your side, and you have the time, budget, and tolerance for uncertainty, then litigation or arbitration may be the right route. (One caveat: only a judge or arbitrator can give you an outcome. Everyone else is guessing at probabilities.)
When commercial transactions and business disputes don't fit neatly into either category. That's when you need a mediator or deal facilitator
Mediation: A Structured Path to Resolution
Mediation is a disciplined process led by a skilled mediator who helps parties resolve disputes before or during litigation. The mediator actively creates options, provides structure to unpack entrenched positions, manages high emotions, tests assumptions against reality, and designs strategies that lead to rational decisions and workable agreements.
Deal Facilitation: When Multiple Parties Need to Align
Deal facilitation applies when multiple parties are negotiating and interests compete, but relationships matter. The goal is strategic: expand the pie so everyone can get what they need, not just fight over fixed positions.
Process Design
Neutral, confidential, and context-specific process design.
Cross-Border Fluency
China, Australia, US, and UK experience across law, deals, and negotiation.
Human Understanding
Empathy plus decision-making psychology for difficult conversations and workable agreements.
