Services Helping deliver harmonious resolutions.

How do we resolve disputes?

We used a range of ADR techniques, along with utilising exclusive technical experts to provide our officers with the right information to resolve your dispute.

We specialise in the construction industry, focusing on new builds, RMI (repair, maintenance, improvement), and renewable energy sectors. Our clients include national contractors, SME contractors, manufacturers, distributors, trade associations, and franchises. With a unique vantage point, we offer essential support for intricate renewable energy challenges, delivering corrective and preventative risk solutions.

We successfully use this process for a number of organisations including:

Point of Sale finance lenders

Credit cards

Home and specialist Insurers

IBG providers

National retailers

SME retailers

Manufacturers and distributors

Mediation and conciliation

Mediation

Dispute Assist has 7 days from receipt of the dispute to informally resolve the dispute. This is mediation between both parties to see if a resolution can be reached between the parties on their own by challenging points of views and asking the right questions.

Conciliation

After 7 days, we need to make the process more formal and request evidence from both parties. With conciliation we use our experience to suggest potentially fair outcomes for both parties, in the absence of the parties not being able to reach a resolution through mediation.
