Arbitration
A binding, private process where a specialized arbitrator reviews evidence, hears arguments, and delivers a final, legally enforceable ruling — without the delays, costs, or public exposure of traditional court litigation.
Commercial arbitration with institutional rigour
Structuring the Settlement
Our approach is to examine the commercial and financial position behind the dispute and determine whether the buy-out can be structured in a way that is workable for both parties.
Depending upon the circumstances, this may involve deferred or instalment payments, appropriate security, the distribution or transfer of particular assets, external or internal financing, future dividends or cash flows, the disposal of non-core assets, restructuring existing obligations, or a combination of different mechanisms.
The objective is to allow the departing party to realise fair value while avoiding a settlement structure that places an impossible immediate cash burden on the remaining shareholder or damages the very business from which the settlement must ultimately be funded.

Preserving the Business While Separating the Parties
A successful commercial settlement should not destroy value in order to divide it.
Forcing an immediate payment may sometimes require assets to be sold, debt to be incurred or working capital to be extracted from the business, potentially weakening the company and ultimately prejudicing both parties.
That is why we look beyond the simple question:
“What is the buy-out price?”
We also ask:
“How can the buy-out actually be funded and implemented?”
With careful financial analysis, commercial thinking and appropriate safeguards for both parties, an apparently impossible buy-out can often be transformed into a structured and workable settlement.
No immediate cash does not necessarily mean no settlement. Sometimes it simply means that the settlement needs to be structured differently.
How Arbitration Works
Filing & Appointment
A formal request for arbitration is submitted. An impartial arbitrator with relevant expertise is appointed from our panel.
Preliminary Conference
Procedural rules, timelines, and the scope of the dispute are established in a structured pre-hearing session.
Hearing & Evidence
Both parties present their cases, evidence, and witness testimony in a formal but private hearing setting.
Award & Enforcement
The arbitrator issues a binding, legally enforceable award — final and conclusive, with limited grounds for appeal.
High Court Mediation Requirements
We are fully certified to fulfil mandatory Rule 41A mediation requirements before High Court proceedings — seamlessly and without delay.
