Assisting parties resolve conflict

ADVANTAGES OF PRIVATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Faster – many organizations and national corporations now actively promote the early resolution of disputes through alternatives to litigation. Settling matters by court action can often take months or years, cost thousands of dollars and leave you feeling frustrated. Through our Dispute Resolution Office, these same disputes can usually be settled in weeks rather than years.

Experts – disputes taken to court are settled by judges who, while noted experts in law, may or may not have particular expertise in your field. Your right to design and implement a unique solution is eliminated. With private dispute resolution, experts can be involved with you and the other party and you choose your arbitrator, mediator or facilitator on the basis of expertise and skill in resolving disputes, leaving you in control.

Private – courts are public forums and information about your personal and business affairs becomes public knowledge. With our Dispute Resolution Office your affairs remain private.

ACHIEVABLE RESULTS

AND EXPECTATIONS

We deal with people at a time when their relationship with others has deteriorated. Some disputes by their nature, can only be settled by litigation.

“We assist the parties work toward solutions

by understanding the dynamics and working outside the court room”

Investigation – typically involves an initial assessment and follows with specific interviews. Independent fact finding permits the investigator to prepare a report complete with recommendations.

Mediation – resulting in an agreement may involve the mediator and parties jointly preparing a draft agreement for review by independent counsel.

Facilitation – involves third party intervention and is suited to larger groups where negotiated outcomes, policy development and unresolved workplace issues need to be addressed.

Arbitration – parties engage an arbitrator, both agreeing in advance to be bound by the arbitrator’s decision. The arbitrator is in effect a judge in a private court.

Primary Service Options Include:

Investigation – organizations engage an independent investigator to review complaints of unprofessional behavior, workplace harassment or discrimination. A written report including findings and recommendations is typically requested.

Mediation – parties engage a family or workplace mediator to better understand disputed issues & help them reach mutually acceptable solutions outside court. Parties reserve the right to pursue other remedies.

Facilitation – groups engage a Workplace Facilitator to transform disruptive behaviors and emotions, reduce conflict and re-establish group focus so consensus or team building are enhanced and productivity restored.

Arbitration/Umpire – parties engage an arbitrator/umpire agreeing in advance to be bound by the written decision. The arbitrator or umpire judges the facts and resolves complaints, grievances and disputed claims.

Other Services – ADR systems design, practical dispute resolution clauses for contracts, training for the workplace, guest speaking and community service.

Referrals – may be initiated by individuals, family members, industry professionals or corporate and community leaders.
