Disputeprocesses.
A range of facilitative, advisory and determinative processes, selected to suit the matter.
The facilitator is a person whose role is to assist parties to clarify issues in dispute and move matters to a pre-stated conclusion with the assistance of an agenda. Panel members who facilitate may also assist parties to develop options and suggest the inclusion of other dispute resolution processes where appropriate. Increasingly facilitators have been employed in assisting in public policy disputes, in the land and environment context, and the large-scale organisational change context.
Specialistpanel.
Endispute has panels of specialist experts to assist with disputes. They include dispute resolution advisors, lawyers and retired judiciary from the High Court, Supreme Courts and the Federal Court. Our panel members are known for their analytical and reasoning skills and their commercial knowledge and understanding.
