Civil disputes
Understand the disagreement before responding.
A disagreement can become all-consuming. Separating established facts, open questions and desired outcomes gives the discussion an initial structure.
A structured reading
The narrative, correspondence and documents may tell different stories. This journey illustrates an organising method without legally assessing any particular situation.
Choose useful questions
Which relationships do you want to preserve? What information is missing? What effort can you devote to next steps? These preparation questions imply no strategy or guaranteed outcome.
