Being in a dispute is a drain on your time and energy

It’s time wasted and it’s emotionally draining

Mediation opens a path to a solution you can agree on allowing you to get back to what you do best

Mediation For The Creative and Communications Sectors

Disputes in the creative and communications sectors are rarely black & white. They involve ideas and work created together and subjective terms like ‘vision’ and ‘ambition’.

You started out with a shared goal and now you’re the villains in each other’s story.

A mediator with decades of experience in this field can help you untangle that complexity quickly and fairly.

In less than a day you can reach an agreement and you can get back to what you do best.
