Resolve disputes early with objective expert guidance.
Blake Newport brings a level of objectivity to any developing or actual dispute situation that can sometimes be difficult to obtain from within an organisation. This allows clients to make informed decisions in their best interests.
The best way to resolve a dispute is to identify a developing issue early so that it can be resolved before it develops into a bigger problem requiring use of more formal dispute resolution processes. We provide objective assessment and support through negotiation and resolution processes.
Proactive Dispute Management
We are often engaged early in the process when an issue is developing, to undertake an objective review of the circumstances, identify key risks and their causes, and establish the extent of the parties’ compliance with the contract.
Blake Newport then provides senior management with an unbiased and objective assessment of the issue, enabling informed decision making including advice on how best to proceed. We then support our client through any negotiation and resolution process.
