Review your position privately, or invite the other party to a shared assessment.

Inside an assessment
How it works
Describe the dispute in your own words, the way you'd explain it to a colleague. You don't need the legal terms; Reso asks the questions that matter, so the important facts come through.
Add the contracts, emails, invoices and notes you already have. The assessment works from what the documents actually say, not just what anyone remembers.
The assessment sets out the legal issues, where your position is strong or exposed, and what your options are, with every point tied back to New Zealand law so you can check it.
With the picture in front of you, you can settle it directly, share the assessment with the other party, negotiate from firmer ground, or take it to a lawyer or mediator with the groundwork done.
“I was winging it on gut feel and Google, terrified a technicality will turn a minor issue into a major payout.”
The product
Every assessment sets out the issues, the evidence considered and the legal sources it relies on, so you can see the basis of the analysis rather than take it on trust.
You start by choosing whether it's just you or both sides, the type of dispute and your role. Then you describe what happened and add your documents.
Reso sets out the strengths and weaknesses of each side, with the legislation and cases behind every point, so you know what to shore up before a conversation gets difficult.
Each legal question is worked through against the legislation and case law, with every source cited so you can check it yourself or share it with your lawyer.

Learn moreThe process
Reso isn't a replacement for mediation, a lawyer or formal adjudication. It sits earlier in the process, in the gap between something going wrong and deciding what to do about it.
Something goes wrong: a staff member raises a grievance, a payment claim goes unpaid, or a buyer complains about a property.
You put the facts and evidence into Reso. It assesses them against the New Zealand law that applies and shows you the issues, where you stand and what your options are.
Then you choose: sort it out internally or with the other party, negotiate with a clearer view of the position, or escalate to a lawyer, mediator or adjudication with the groundwork done.
For teams and organisations
When disputes are part of the job, the hardest part is often the first few days: working out what a claim is really about, what the paperwork says, and whether it needs a lawyer.
Reso does that first pass the same way for every matter. People and HR teams, construction businesses and real estate groups can quickly see which disputes are routine and which need senior attention. Legal and risk teams receive matters that are already organised.
For lawyers and mediators
Reso is not a substitute for professional judgement. It can help structure the facts, evidence and initial legal issues earlier, so clients arrive better prepared and professional time is spent where it adds most value.
In practice, clients who have used Reso arrive having already set out what happened and gathered their documents. They bring a first view of the legal issues, the sources behind it and an early sense of where a settlement might land. It also makes triage easier, because you can quickly see which matters need your time.
Reso for professionalsCapabilities
Reso works from New Zealand legislation and decisions selected and indexed by lawyers, not the open internet, and every citation can be checked.
Upload contracts, correspondence and records, and the assessment shows which ones it relied on, so you can follow how it reached its view.
Check your own position privately first, or invite the other party so you both work from the same assessment of the same facts.
Issues, strengths, risks, options and indicative settlement guidance are always set out in the same order, so assessments are easy to compare and discuss.
Share the assessment with your team, your lawyer or your mediator, so everyone starts the conversation from the same page.
Assessments follow the legislation and timeframes that apply to your matter, so you can see which rules actually govern your dispute.
Start an assessment of your own matter, or book a demo to see how Reso works across a team.
Reso provides AI-assisted analysis and is not legal advice or a substitute for a lawyer, mediator or formal dispute resolution. Review any output before relying on it.
