Many of Core’s commercial mediations involve small and medium sized businesses.
SMEs are particularly vulnerable to expensive and long-running disputes, which can tie up a great deal of time, money and energy. Mediation can often help find the answer, providing a cost-effective and speedy solution to the situation.
