Why Lawyers and Businesses Trust Tsungai as a Mediator.
I’m Tsungai Mukushi — a commercial lawyer, accredited mediator, busines owner and the Principal of Minerva Law. With vast experience advising and representing businesses, franchisors, franchisees, and professionals, I understand what’s at stake when a dispute disrupts a deal, a franchise system, or a long-standing commercial or personal relationship.
Work with Tsungai to move beyond your conflict.
My role as a mediator is not to decide who’s right — it’s to help parties get to what’s next. To move past gridlock and toward resolution. I work best where the law meets commercial reality, where parties are sharp, the stakes are high, and the risks of litigation are real.
Tsungai’s mediation specialisations include:
Mediation is the space between information and understanding.
Tsungai is available for half-day and full-day mediations, conducted either online or in-person – dependent on the clients’ needs.
Tsungai charges a flat rate between $1,250 and $2,000 (plus GST) per party, inclusive of all preparation and pre-mediation intake conferences.

What I Bring to the Table
🧠 Commercial Expertise That Cuts Through Complexity
From commercial leasing and franchising to intellectual property and insurance disputes, I bring deep legal and commercial knowledge to the table — not just to understand the issues, but to help parties explore creative, legally sound pathways to agreement.
⚖️ Trusted by Lawyers — and Valued by Clients
I act as a bridge between legal counsel and their clients. I speak the language of litigation, but I’m focused on outcomes. I help parties test their positions, reality-check their assumptions, and weigh the risks with clarity and commercial insight.
🤝 A Grounded, Personable Approach
Clients say I’m down-to-earth, approachable, and respectful of each party’s journey. I’m not there to shame or corner anyone. I create a safe and professional space where parties can think clearly, speak honestly, and negotiate intelligently.
🛠️ Pragmatic & Efficient
I’ve seen how costly, drawn-out disputes can erode businesses and relationships. My mediation style is proactive and commercially realistic — focused on getting to durable solutions without unnecessary delay.
