SMEs


Many of Core's mediations involve small and medium sized businesses.


SMEs are particularly vulnerable to expensive and long-running disputes, which can tie up a great deal of time, money and energy. Mediation can often help find the answer, providing a cost-effective and speedy solution to the situation. We call this 'Nipping it in the Bud.'  The key is to help parties involved to have a constructuve conversation, identify the real issues and find ways to move forward quickly.


Our clients include professional firms, small companies, partnerships and sole traders. 

Issues covered include:


  • general management issues, including succession and allocation of present and future roles
  • commercial relationships
  • business, company, partnership and property matters
  • contractual disputes
  • human 'due diligence' for start-ups, partnerships and joint ventures
  • financial provision in partnership breakdown
  • new and additional funding
  • allegations of negligence
  • workplace and employment issues
