Employment mediation is a confidential, structured process that resolves workplace disputes quickly and constructively. Instead of disputes escalating to litigation, mediation provides a controlled environment in which to achieve practical outcomes – often saving time, money and stress.
At GGE, we offer a fast-track employment mediation service for urgent matters including personal grievances, disciplinary disputes, restructuring issues and relationship breakdowns. When Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (MBIE) delays create uncertainty, we can arrange private mediation within seven days via secure platforms such as Zoom or Teams.
This fast-track service is charged at a fixed rate and expedites the mediation process to end the uncertainty and help reach resolutions quickly. Our mediation team maintains strict confidentiality, is regulated by internationally recognised industry bodies, and operates independently from our litigation team.

We offer clear fee arrangements tailored to the type of issue raised and the needs of each client.
For dismissal and exit-related matters, we may offer a contingency-based fee arrangement (also known as ‘no win no fee’). Under this arrangement, our professional fee is an agreed percentage of any financial settlement achieved. This option is only available to employees and is assessed on a case-by-case basis. It is typically suitable for personal grievances, negotiated exits and settlement discussions following termination. For advisory work and matters where the employment relationship is continuing, we charge an hourly rate. This includes reviewing employment agreements, advising during performance or disciplinary processes, providing restructuring advice and other workplace issues. We will discuss likely costs with you before work begins and keep you updated as your matter progresses.
We charge employers on an hourly basis for advisory and dispute work. This includes employment agreement drafting and review, advice during disciplinary and restructuring processes, investigations, mediation representation and dispute management. Employers can also engage our services on a retainer basis. A retainer provides you with ongoing access to practical employment advice and support, enabling issues to be addressed early and risks to be managed proactively. We are transparent about anticipated costs at the outset and remain transparent as matters progress.
Our mediation services are priced competitively and charged on a daily rate, providing cost certainty and allowing all parties to focus on the resolution. We facilitate mediations with a pragmatic, resolution-focused and commercially grounded approach. Our role is to move matters forward, cut through the noise, and help parties reach workable outcomes. Daily rates apply to both single-day and multi-day mediations and will be confirmed in advance. Preparation support can also be provided to ensure mediation time is used effectively and efficiently.
