Dispute readiness starts
before the dispute does.
General Counsel carry cross-border legal responsibility under real-time pressure — and receive fragmented, filtered, non-neutral information when disputes emerge. The Neutrals gives the GC office the one thing no internal team can provide: a single, independent, cross-functional assessment of what is actually happening — before positions harden and costs become irreversible.
You spend millions resolving disputes that could have been prevented for thousands.
The GC office is responsible for legal risk across the entire organisation. But when disputes emerge, you receive information through departments that each interpret the same events through their own operational priorities — and none of them can be perceived as neutral by the other side.
The result: you make decisions on partial, filtered, non-neutral information. You instruct lawyers before you have the complete picture. You escalate matters that could have been resolved at the evaluation stage. And by the time mediation or arbitration are on the table, the cost — financial, operational, and relational — has already multiplied.
Independent Neutral Evaluation, powered by INDS™, gives the GC office the complete picture — before any of that happens. Not a legal opinion. Not an HR recommendation. A structured, independent, cross-functional assessment that answers the questions you cannot get answered neutrally internally.
The infrastructure your office should have had years ago.
The GC Retainer Programme gives your office priority access to certified neutrals, pre-agreed ADR procedures for your standard contracts, a named case manager, and quarterly dispute health reporting — all on an annual retainer designed specifically for in-house legal teams.
When a dispute emerges on a Friday afternoon, you do not have days to search for a credible neutral, check credentials, and get counterparty agreement. The retainer means the neutral is already identified, already briefed on your portfolio, and available within 24 hours.
Prevention, management, and resolution — all in one place.
The retainer your office should have had years ago.
We speak directly with General Counsel and heads of legal. No sales process. A direct conversation about your dispute portfolio and what a retainer would look like for your organisation.
