In the ever-changing landscape of modern business, organizations are routinely faced with thorny contractual disputes and multilateral conflicts. The choice to proactively manage conflict is increasingly the key to preserving your organization’s reputation, assets, and future success.

For nearly twenty years, Dr. Kamminga has been instrumental in developing solutions to difficult conflicts around the globe, making him a valuable ally for corporations, law firms, government agencies, and non-profit entities seeking best-in-class conflict management services.
Mediation and Arbitration Services
At the heart of Dr. Kamminga’s consulting practice is extensive experience with mediation and arbitration. He provides neutral, confidential, and effective dispute resolution for complex civil, commercial, and cross-border disputes-often with multi-million or even billion dollar stakes at issue. As a neutral with JAMS (the world’s largest dispute resolution provider), Dr. Kamminga has assisted Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies, major insurance carriers, and the most highly regarded law firms in the world with resolving some of their most difficult disputes. He has done so in a dispassionate but effective manner, both efficient and geared towards an inclusive and sustainable outcome depending on the dynamics of the case. Whether you are negotiating a stalemate, dealing with a partnership dispute, or an international dispute, Dr. Kamminga instills a sense of trust and provides a roadmap to resolution.
Process Design of Disputes: Designing Systems for Resolving Conflict
Progressive organizations know the importance of implementing effective dispute management systems. Dr. Kamminga specializes in Dispute System Design (DSD), a consultative service focusing on establishing or improving internal systems for managing disputes before they arise. Through a comprehensive analysis of your organization, Dr. Kamminga can identify existing practices, areas of weakness, and tailor procedures to fit your culture and objectives. The result is a more streamlined, transparent, and predictable dispute resolution system-reducing risk and cost and promoting cooperation. For clients, this means immediate impact as well as long-term sustainability, especially for large scale projects or multi-party contractual arrangements.
Collaborative Contracting in Major Projects: Building Big Things Together
Large scale projects-whether for construction, energy, infrastructure, or technology-demand more than just robust contracts; they require collaborative approaches that predict and minimize conflict. Dr. Kamminga advises multinational companies, public authorities, and consortia on the design of collaborative contracting arrangements that embed transparency, shared risk, and mutual reward. Drawing on academic research and practical experience, he assists with the drafting of contract terms, governance structures, and escalation procedures calibrated to your project’s scope and complexity. This can prevent disputes, deliver efficiency, avoid delay, and strengthen stakeholder relationships. An organization gains a competitive advantage by creating an environment of early trust and innovation.
Advisory Services to Multinational Corporations and Government Agencies
The legal, commercial, and regulatory aspects of international contracts and disputes require specific expertise. Dr. Kamminga provides tailored advice to multinationals, government agencies, and international non-profit organisations involved in high-value deals or transnational projects. He advises clients in areas including contract negotiation, risk allocation, regulations, and co-ordination between multiple parties. He is valued for his ability to bridge legal traditions, facilitate cross-cultural communication, and adapt dispute resolution mechanisms for use in different environments. This global outlook is supported by Dr. Kamminga’s language skills and the fact he has worked with, or is connected to, a number of leading institutions, such as JAMS, Harvard Law School, and VU Amsterdam.
Research, Lecturing and Thought Leadership
In addition to practical consulting, Dr. Kamminga is an internationally sought-after academic and speaker. He is well known for promoting the discipline of conflict management. As Associate Professor at VU Amsterdam and affiliated scholar at Harvard Law School’s Program on Negotiation, he has authored over fifty peer-reviewed articles and five books in such fields as negotiation, mediation, contracts, and conflict resolution. Clients benefit from Dr. Kamminga’s capacity to translate state-of-the-art research into hands-on, pragmatic recommendations. Dr. Kamminga can deliver bespoke lectures, workshops, and training on site for legal teams, executives, and project managers by empowering them to take charge of sophisticated negotiation processes and to cultivate a culture of conflict management excellence.
