Here is another example of how early conflict resolution can benefit those involved:

Keith Schulner offered his services to a big construction company to help them resolve problems early and save money. The Company did not take up the offer. They refused to paint someone’s cabinets at a cost of about $200, 9 years into a 10-year statute of limitations. That would have resolved the conflict, but instead a lawsuit was filed resulting in a 1.7-million-dollar settlement on top of expensive attorney fees.
