When there’s conflict and you can’t move forward
Before decisions are formalised - align, and plan how to handle disagreement if it comes.
When you need to prepare your negotiation before it starts -business or personal.
Accredited training in mediation, negotiation, and real-world conflict resolution.
“Veronica worked closely with us to prepare for the negotiation. She helped us break it all down, guiding us through our real priorities, what we could compromise on, and what had to stay firm.”
Sylvain Artigala, Co-Founder & CFO Navex SaS
“We were separating after years of building a life together... Veronica helped us pause, regain clarity, and move forward without destroying what we had built.”

This practice is led by Mariaveronica Favoroso, an accredited civil and commercial mediator with over 20 years of experience across law, entrepreneurship, and cross-border negotiation.
She represents ADR ODR International in Southeast Asia and works closely with its founder, Rahim Shamji, on complex negotiation and dispute resolution matters. She also supports the firm’s expansion in the region through mediation development, peer-resolution models, and corporate training for multinationals.
Veronica turned to mediation after years spent navigating boardroom tensions, exits, and high-stakes negotiations - having lived and worked internationally since 2007. She experienced how unresolved conflict, if ignored, quietly erodes trust, momentum, and value. Mediation offered a missing link: a structured process to unlock impasses, protect relationships, and move forward with clarity.
Alongside her affiliation with ADR ODR, Veronica works independently with a select group of founders, investors, and leadership teams - providing advisory support across fundraising, negotiation, partnership alignment, and complex transitions.
She is accredited in civil and commercial mediation by ADR ODR International (UK), and works internationally both online and in person - in English, Italian, and French. She is based in Bangkok.
Our vision at Clause Zero is to help entrepreneurs, executives, and partners address the unspoken assumptions - the “clause zero” moments. We aim to enable clearer decisions, aligned expectations, and more resilient partnerships.
We help you preserve value by unlocking deadlocks.
We’ve been there—and we know how conflict drains everything.
