  • divorce and estate

    Whether a high-net worth divorce involving complex businesses, property valuations, and stock, or a personal dispute, we can help you address conflict quickly and confidentially through mediation.

  • negotiation support

    A negotiation coach can help you navigate complex situations, manage emotions, boost your confidence, and sharpen your skills so that you save money and get better outcomes.

Why Mediation?

  • Cost-effective

  • Expedient

  • Confidential

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that leverages the help of a third-party neutral to help facilitate resolution. Lawyers and trial often results in protracted, expensive, and emotionally draining processes where neither party is satisfied with the outcome.

Mediation helps parties find resolution cost effectively, expediently, and confidentially.
