Dispute · 4 to 8 Weeks

When the seller is dragging their feet.

Service-level breaches. Unreturned credits. Governance committees that produce minutes, not decisions. The dispute resolution engagement builds the claim, runs the escalation, and either lands the settlement or sets up the arbitration with full hands.

When You Need This

The TSA has remedies.

Most TSAs include service-level commitments, credit calculations, and escalation paths. Most buyers do not use them. The seller is not motivated to flag breaches. By the time the buyer notices, the clock has run on filing windows. This is the engagement that turns dormant remedies into recovered dollars.

  1. i.

    The seller is missing SLAs.

    Repeated incidents, repeated near misses, no credits ever issued. The seller will not flag what the buyer does not claim.

  2. ii.

    The governance committee has stalled.

    Meetings produce minutes, no decisions. Issues escalate to committee, stall in committee, and reappear in committee.

  3. iii.

    Credit calculations are unclear.

    The TSA references a credit table. No one has applied it. Months of breaches sit unprocessed.

  4. iv.

    The seller is interpreting the TSA aggressively.

    Scope creep, pass-through games, service withdrawal threats. The seller is testing how much the buyer will absorb.

  5. v.

    You are approaching the filing window.

    Many TSAs have limited claim windows. After 12 months the breach is unclaimable. The clock is running.

What We Deliver

Six artifacts. One settlement or filing.

The endpoint is either a signed settlement or a fully prepared arbitration filing. Not a recommendation memo. We work alongside the buyer's legal team, with TSA fluency they often do not need to maintain internally.

Deliverable 01

Breach inventory

Every documented SLA miss, scope deviation, and pass-through anomaly, organized by service, severity, and dollar exposure.

Deliverable 02

Credit calculation

The buyer's claim, line by line, against the TSA's own credit table and methodology. Numbers the seller has to engage with.

Deliverable 03

Escalation strategy

Which issues escalate, in what order, on what timeline. What we want from each level. Where the leverage points sit.

Deliverable 04

Governance reset

If the committee is broken, the proposed fix. Chair, cadence, decision rights, dispute path. A working forum, not a stalling one.

Deliverable 05

Settlement framework

The shape of an acceptable settlement. Credits to recover, scope to adjust, future remedies to lock in.

Deliverable 06

Arbitration prep, if needed

If the matter goes to arbitration. Evidence file, witness map, claim narrative. Buyer's counsel takes the case from a fully prepared position.
