Commercial & Contract Mediation

Business is About Progress, Not Process

Don’t let a contract dispute stall your momentum. Our commercial mediators provide a private, high-speed alternative to the Queensland court system, focusing on “The Deal” rather than the disagreement.

From minor franchise disagreements to major corporate contract disputes, Brisbane Mediations provides a neutral environment focused on achieving practical, commercial outcomes that allow businesses to get back to work.

Protecting Your Bottom Line and Your Reputation

In the Queensland business community, a public legal battle is a trial tax nobody wants to pay. Whether it’s a partnership fallout, a lease dispute, or a breach of contract, litigation consumes two of your most valuable assets: Time and Focus.

At Brisbane Mediations, we facilitate privileged, “Without Prejudice” discussions that allow for creative commercial outcomes—settlements that a judge simply doesn’t have the jurisdiction to order.

Franchise Conflict: Protecting the Brand

Under the Franchising Code of Conduct, mediation is often a mandatory first step in resolving disputes. We understand the unique “Power Imbalance” and brand-equity risks inherent in Franchisor/Franchisee relationships.

Our specialist mediators help resolve:

  • Breach of Agreement: Addressing compliance and operational friction.
  • Termination Disputes: Negotiating “clean breaks” to protect territory and goodwill.
  • Marketing & Fee Disputes: Finding transparency without damaging the wider network.

We provide a neutral forum that respects the Code while seeking a pragmatic path forward for both parties.

For Commercial Practitioners: A Practical “Win”

We help you deliver the result your client actually wants: a resolution that lets them get back to work. We are experts at navigating:

  1. UCPR and Civil Proceedings Act 2011 Compliance: Meeting the requirements for ADR in the Supreme and District Courts, and ensuring all Form 34 Certificates are executed and filed promptly.
  2. Complex Multi-Party Claims: Managing the dynamics of joint ventures and shareholder disputes.
  3. Preserving Relationships: Crucial in “Continuing Contract” situations where the parties must work together post-dispute.

Our Commercial Pillars

Speed to Resolution: In business, “Time is Money” isn’t just a cliché – it’s a metric. We aim for day-of settlement.

Total Privacy: Unlike a public judgment, your commercial secrets and settlement terms remain strictly confidential.

Tactical Flexibility: Move beyond “Money for Release.” We facilitate debt restructuring, revised terms, and future-focused agreements.
