Conflict Resolution Depends on the Approach
Listeners: We’re good listeners who go beyond the words that are said, or even unsaid, to understand what is truly meant.
Make a difference: We genuinely want to make a difference for the parties involved in a dispute. Finding a positive, practical outcome is our focus.
Choices: Throughout the mediation process you will have a clear understanding of the choices and their consequences, and the reasons why particular options are developed.
Creative problem solving: We are imaginative problem solvers who can think beyond the confines of legal precedent or traditional business models. We offer a comfortable mediation environment focussed on solving—not winning or losing.
Common sense and life experience: With wide-ranging professional life experiences, we constructively impact the mediation process. Our paths have taken us both inside and outside the realm of business institutions, entrepreneurial venture and family units.
Understand risk tolerance: Sometimes positions are so entrenched that it takes practiced intuition to recognize parties’ risk tolerance when working towards a creative solution.
Patience: We possess the patience to help clients work through problems no matter how complex or adversarial.
Litigation experience matters: Our resumes attest to meaningful and successful breadth and depth of experience. Not only have we been involved in all manner of disputes in very different forums, but we appreciate litigation’s impact on clients, win or lose.
Considerate of advisors: In working towards a settlement or resolution, we are able to guide the disputants in a manner that is considerate of other advice they may require whether it is from their lawyers, tax advisors, business consultants or estate planners.
Ego: It’s neither about a victory nor our success. It’s about resolution, with both parties walking away from the mediation with a feeling of accomplishment.
