DISPUTE RESOLUTION CONSULTANCY IN KENYA
‘’ Attorneys and parties often fear that the making of any “reasonable” settlement offer will be taken as a sign of weakness or will be used by the other side as the starting point for the next round of negotiations. Mediation provides a safe environment for negotiation because the mediator can control and direct the communications.”
-Randy Freking-
Negotiating cases for settlement is an art that H W Gichohi & Company has specialized in. We have the experience, intelligence, and instincts – which are required. The economics of litigation require an honest and informed evaluation of the risks of the case and the costs associated with reducing those risks.
Conflicts arising from non-tax Compliance, of commercial nature, between employers and their employees, business to business, customers and retail shops and other civil matters; name them... are a common feature in the running of businesses. A professional dispute resolution agent must be unencumbered by the emotion and adversarial nature of litigation, and this is our position.
Mediation can be helpful in nearly any situation, from private family matters to mega corporations. The mediator acts as a third party, with the aim of improving communication between the disagreeing parties in order to find a suitable means of settling the dispute. H W Gichohi & Company provides you with the platform to make mediation easier for you.
At H W Gichohi & Company, we have made it our priority to facilitate and encourage early evaluation and settlement, and when requested, a fair and impartial decision is made. We have a reputation of successfully handling various forms of mediation involving individuals, businesses and organizations and even defense firms, hence can cut away much of the preliminary sparring, get to the real negotiation, and hopefully reach settlement. Not all cases should be settled, but settlement should be considered in all cases.
When you need a little help settling a dispute, mediation can be a sure fire way to avoid court proceedings. Bringing another party to court is expensive, time consuming and stressful. By using a mediator, both parties will be given a neutral ear and the benefit of a private, confidential means of coming to an agreement.
We are readily available for professional and confidential dispute resolution solutions at your fingertips
