Mediation Benefit

Mediation is also known as alternative dispute resolution. This is where a dispute is resolved by bringing both parties to table, opening channels of communication and finding a mutually acceptable solution. We do this by way of round table discussions, letters, faxes, mail and telephonic consultation.

In business it is important to keep all your financial avenues open. We do this by not alienating future business by a win or lose outcome, but a financially viable solution for both, thus not putting the business relationship in jeopardy. The mediation benefit also includes the perusing and drafting of legal documentation and contracts, union negotiations and debt collecting.

Legal Documents:

• Letters of appointment
• Grievance procedures
• Employee loan agreements
• Consultation forms
• Written warnings (first, second and final)
Contracts:
• Service agreements
• Service level agreements
• Joint ventures
• Rent and lease agreements
• Purchase and sale agreements
• Tender documentation
• Acknowledgement of debt and surety
• Indemnity forms

 

We will also draft and peruse any other contracts and agreements the client needs. Should they however be specialised documents we reserve ourselves the right to charge the client an additional fee.

Union Negotiations:
We will advise our medium to large clients on union negotiations and assist them where needed. Should they want us to take over the negotiations in full, we will consult with our client and work out an additional fee structure.

Debt collecting:
Debt collecting is an arduous process. Simply phoning your clients yields little or no results. If you have problems with defaulting accounts, you can hand them over to us. We will phone on your behalf and structure a payment plan. We will also secure an acknowledgement of debt. Once we have obtained this document, we can apply for summary judgement. As well as phoning the client, we will also draft a letter of demand. Most people will at this point agree to either a settlement or a payment plan.
Should you have a big debt or many outstanding debts, we have another solution.
We will draft an agreement with our client to secure his/her outstanding accounts. This is a very cost effective process as set out below.

 
1. We draft an agreement which include the costs and the      percentage to be deducted from the collected accounts

2. We locate the defaulter and engage in the legal process.

Once the client agrees to pay we deduct our percentage from the total outstanding amount.
The reason this process is cost effective lies in the way it is conducted. As the only extra costs Incurred by the client are the legal costs which include:

      • The messenger of the court t
      • Copies of the legal documents
      • Revenue stamps
      • Tracing Fees

These are minimal fees, and once we have secured payment we will deduct our pre- arranged percentage from the account.
