We offer an expert Mediation approach that is:

  • Based on four decades of Business and Mediation Experience
  • Focused on Creative “Win-Win” Solutions
  • Completely Neutral – but also Supportive
  • Thoughtful and Patient – but also Expeditious
  • Extremely Cost-Effective

Mediator’s Approach

Our mediation approach is to listen to each party very carefully and then work toward a creative solution that is acceptable to both sides and ideally will be viewed as a “win-win”. This usually produces a customized solution that would not be possible to achieve in litigation or arbitration.

 

The parties would not be in mediation if they were not stuck in what they see as a desperate “win or lose” situation.

Our goal is to TRANSFORM Conflict into a creative Solution that works for both sides.

Our approach to Mediation involves:

  • Meeting over video conference separately with each party to carefully listen to each party’s goals, concerns and facts (attorneys if any can be included)
  • Reviewing detailed Mediation Briefs from each party (if available)
  • Discussing possible resolutions with each party

 

All of the above will be done confidentially – and no information or possible offers will be shared with the other side unless first approved by the disclosing party.

 

This approach reduces confrontation and minimizes any attempt of either party to use Mediation as a “fishing expedition” to gain information outside of a legal discovery process.

 

If believed to be productive, joint sessions may be arranged by the Mediator who will manage and facilitate discussions.

 

When a solution has been negotiated, the Mediator will put it in a writing in the form of a “Mediators Settlement Proposal” to be reviewed and signed by each party.

As you may already know, Mediating disputes has many potential advantages over Litigating or Arbitrating cases including:

  • Saving money, time and stress
  • Having much more flexibility to create solutions that work for both parties
