How do you handle disputes over payment or project deliverables?

I handle disputes over payment or project deliverables by first attempting to understand the issue from both parties' perspectives and then facilitating a respectful and productive conversation to resolve the dispute. I firmly believe in clear and open communication, and I work to ensure that all parties have a clear understanding of the project scope, timeline, and payment terms. If a dispute arises, I encourage all parties to bring their concerns to the table and work together to find a mutually acceptable solution.

If a dispute cannot be resolved through direct communication, I may bring in a neutral third party to mediate the dispute and help facilitate a resolution. I always aim to maintain a positive and professional relationship with all parties involved, and I work to ensure that the dispute is resolved in a fair and equitable manner. Ultimately, my goal is to ensure that all parties are satisfied with the outcome and that the project can move forward successfully.
