Entertainment Mediation
When conflicts occur in the entertainment industry, resolving disputes through the courts can be expensive, lengthy and open to media scrutiny. Sam Wales, principal of The Conflict Resolution Group, with nearly thirty years in television, film and corporate communications, understands the need for privacy and resolving the dispute quickly.
In the close knit entertainment industry, it is best to resolve issues while preserving relationships. The mediator brings parties together to work out a settlement in an environment that is non-confrontational, supportive, balanced and fair. At the conclusion of the mediation, the mediator drafts an agreeable settlement with the parties.
Examples of Entertainment Disputes
- Breach of Contract
- Financial Disputes
- Personality Conflicts
- Creative Differences
- Production Delays
- Non-compliance of film permits
