Simplifi Mediation

Court decides who wins. Mediation decides what works. Our accredited mediators guide parties from entrenched positions to durable, binding agreements — privately, quickly, and at a fraction of the cost of litigation.

What we mediate

Where positions harden, we make room to move.

Commercial disputes

Contract, shareholder, partnership and supplier disputes — mediated by a CEDR-trained commercial mediator who has sat on every side of a deal.

Family & divorce mediation

Accredited family mediation that keeps decisions about children, homes and futures where they belong — with the family, not the court roll.

Complex financial disputes

Our defining specialty: divorces and disputes entangled with trusts, businesses, offshore structures and valuations — mediated by people who can read a balance sheet as fluently as a pleading.

Settlement architecture

Beyond the handshake: settlement agreements, parenting plans and restructuring terms drafted so the resolution actually holds.

Why mediation

Faster. Private. Yours to decide.

Litigation is public, slow and adversarial by design — and at the end, a stranger decides. Mediation is confidential, typically resolves in weeks rather than years, and produces outcomes both parties can live with because both parties built them.

Hannah has been an accredited mediator since 2003, a volunteer mediator with FAMSA, and helped establish the Dispute Resolution Alliance to promote commercial mediation in South Africa. Gawie brings CEDR commercial mediation training and 25 years of deal-room pragmatism. Between them, very little surprises them.
