Why we built 1sitting
Too many good businesses are drained by disputes that take years to resolve. The cost is more than legal fees: lost time, stalled decisions, damaged relationships and businesses that never recover. 1sitting brings together proven methods from arbitration, mediation and executive problem-solving, supported by AI, so that two parties can reach a final outcome in a single structured day.

Our standards
Neutral, always.
We never represent either side, and we never charge success fees. Our fee is the same whatever the outcome.
Disclosed.
Before every case, we disclose in writing any past connection with either party, its owners or its counsel.
Recognised ethics.
We follow the Model Standards of Conduct for Mediators and the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes.
Human decisions.
A named neutral decides every issue and signs every decision. AI assists; it never decides.
About 1sitting
We believe a business dispute should end in days, not drag on for years, with a process that is fair, private and final.
Our mission
We bring finality to business disputes.
A dispute between business owners can drain time, money and focus for months or years. We built 1sitting to end that. Each case is resolved in one structured session. A neutral hears both sides, seals a binding decision, then mediates. If the parties settle, the sealed decision is destroyed unopened. If they do not, it is opened and becomes binding. Either way, every case ends with a final outcome on the day, so you can get back to running your business.
Technology assists. A person decides.
AI helps the neutral review the Position Papers, organise the evidence and check the analysis. It makes the preparation faster and more thorough.
AI does not make decisions. A named human neutral hears both sides, writes the decision and signs it. That person is accountable for every outcome.
