AMS is providing her services in the three areas below

Arbitration

As in music, there is no such thing as a wrong note, only a Better Choice… The same applies to a choice of an Arbitrator

Mediation

Shake hands with your commercial partners – AMS can show you the way to achieve the desired outcome by applying techniques underpinned by an understanding of the psychology of conflict
