Who We Are

Balanced Results is a specialist strategic dispute and negotiation firm engaged in complex matters where the stakes are high, positions are entrenched and a more powerful level of intervention is required.

We do not simply advise from the sidelines. We take an active role in the dispute; assessing the commercial position, identifying the real decision makers, determining where leverage exists, setting the negotiation strategy and then executing that strategy directly.

Our work involves leading negotiations, engaging key stakeholders, testing and applying commercial pressure, overcoming stalled positions and creating movement where conventional processes have failed to produce an acceptable result.

We act for businesses, executives, body corporates, professional and organisational clients across complex commercial and industrial relations matters, including disputes involving major corporate, government and institutional counterparties.

Clients engage Balanced Results when they need someone to take control of the commercial fight, change the dynamics of the dispute and drive it towards a defined outcome.

 

 

What makes us different

Balanced Results is not bound by the process that produced the stalemate. We reassess the matter from first principles and determine what actually needs to change for the other side to move.
The strategy is built around the client's objective; not around preserving an existing process simply because it has already begun. That gives us the freedom to challenge assumptions, reframe the dispute, change the level of engagement and pursue multiple avenues in parallel where doing so creates advantage.

Clients we work with

We act for small businesses, corporates, body corporates, senior executives, professionals, associations and organisations across industry sectors in consequential commercial and industrial relations matters.

The common factor is not the size of the client. It is the significance of the matter.

Balanced Results is most valuable where the financial, commercial, operational or reputational consequences justify experienced, senior level intervention.

Our strategic objective

Balanced Results does not begin with a predetermined view that every dispute should be settled, litigated, escalated or brought to an end as quickly as possible.

Our role is to determine which course of action creates the strongest strategic and commercial position for the client.

Depending on the circumstances, that may involve negotiation, maintaining pressure, strategic timing or restraint, accelerating action, engaging more senior decision makers, pursuing regulatory or institutional avenues, preserving existing rights, preparing for litigation, or escalating the matter through formal proceedings.

The objective is not simply to end the dispute. It is to place the client in the strongest achievable position and then pursue the pathway that best serves their interests.

One matter - One consolidated strategy

Complex disputes can require multiple strategies to operate at the same time.

Balanced Results can lead commercial negotiations and stakeholder engagement while coordinating, where required, with the client's existing advisers or our trusted panel of law firms across litigation, court proceedings, class action strategy, regulatory action and other formal escalation pathways.

These options are not treated simply as processes of last resort. Where appropriate, the credible ability to commence, expand or pursue formal action can materially alter the negotiating environment, strengthen leverage and bring different decision makers into the matter.

Balanced Results remains actively engaged across the strategy; ensuring negotiation, commercial pressure and formal escalation are coordinated around the client's objectives rather than operating as disconnected processes.

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers to the questions clients commonly have before engaging Balanced Results in a complex commercial or industrial relations matter.

Is the initial discussion confidential and complimentary?

Yes.

Balanced Results offers an initial 20-minute telephone or video discussion at no cost, with enquiries treated confidentially.

The purpose is to understand the broad circumstances of the matter, its current position and what has occurred to date, and to determine whether our involvement is likely to add strategic value.

You do not need to prepare a formal brief before that first discussion.

Can litigation, court proceedings or class action strategy form part of our approach?

Yes.

Complex disputes do not always require negotiation and formal action to occur sequentially.

Where it strengthens the client's position, Balanced Results can coordinate commercial negotiations and stakeholder engagement alongside litigation, court proceedings, class action strategy, regulatory action or other formal escalation pathways.

We work with the client's existing advisers or, where appropriate, our trusted panel of law firms while remaining actively engaged in the broader strategy.

The appropriate combination of negotiation, commercial pressure and formal action is determined by the circumstances of the matter and the strategic advantage available to the client.

What happens if we decide to engage Balanced Results?

Following the initial discussion, where the matter is suitable for our involvement, we establish the immediate priorities and determine the scope of engagement required.

This may include reviewing the existing position and material, identifying key stakeholders and decision makers, assessing available leverage and risks, and determining which commercial, negotiation or formal pathways should be activated.

From there, Balanced Results moves from assessment into execution, engaging the relevant parties, leading the strategy and driving the matter forward.
