About Reso

    Reso gives New Zealand businesses and individuals a clear, early view of a dispute, so they can resolve it with confidence while it's still small.

    Why we built Reso

    We're a team of legal and technology experts with a simple belief: legal processes should be easier, fairer, more transparent and more affordable, and good legal support should be within everyone's reach.

    The problem we're solving

    Every year, thousands of New Zealanders walk away from legitimate disputes, not because they're wrong, but because they can't afford to find out if they're right.

    Others go the opposite way. A minor disagreement quietly becomes a major legal battle because neither party understood their position early enough. Legitimate claims go unpursued, and business relationships fracture.

    Mediation, adjudication, tribunals and the courts all have an important role to play, but they take months and cost thousands. By the time a dispute gets there, positions have often hardened.

    Reso changes that. By giving people affordable, legally grounded analysis at the start of a dispute, we help them understand where they stand while there's still room to settle. That clarity often reveals a resolution that would otherwise have been missed.

    Combining expert legal knowledge with good technology lets us do that without cutting corners on quality or accuracy.
