Did you know that conflict kills more businesses than competition or the economy. If you are spending time and money fighting and must find a solution to a business dispute because so much is at stake . . . I can help you break the deadlock.

"Unlike fine wines, disputes do not improve with age." Willard Z. Estey, former Supreme Court of Canada Justice

I restore clear thinking, discover the real issues and lay out options that meet the goals of all parties, all within a few weeks and at a fixed price depending on the number of people involved.

" . . . a unique talent in dispute resolution . . . Michael has the ability to make you stop and think about the consequences of your actions." P.M. Bolan, one of my clients

I have worked with boards, shareholders, management teams as well as business partners to bring disputes to an amicable conclusion. Read what clients have to say about my service or you can read an article about my work that appeared in the National Post.

Partnerships, family owned business, workplace conflict, complex IT projects, commercial and estate disputes.

I apply my problem solving skills to tough issues - roadblocks that can stall executives, businesses or families for years.

	Disagreements between partners, a management team or board members
	Conflict within a team, a complex project, between departments or with an important supplier or customer
	Franchise, landlord tenant, family owned business and estate disputes
	Problems in an IT outsourcing arrangement
	Impasse on a change program, marketing plan or strategy

How serious is your problem?

	Are you stalled - agreements far apart, parties more entrenched?
	Are you communicating via email and avoiding face to face interaction?
	Has this issue been dragging on for months, possibly years?
	Is the disagreement consuming most of your energy and large amounts of time?
	Do you wake up in the middle of the night thinking about the problem?

If you answered "yes" to more than two of the above, then call me now at 416-410-3311. Even if the situation seems hopeless, I can help you to solve the problem and reduce the stress. Our discussions are completely confidential. Read what clients say about my service.
