A better way to resolve disputes
Instead of going to court, we help you resolve disputes through discussion first (mediation), and if that doesn't work, through a binding decision (arbitration).
We start with discussion
First, we facilitate conversations to help you find common ground and reach agreement.
If discussion doesn't work
If you can't agree through mediation, an arbitrator makes a binding decision that resolves the dispute.
Private and faster than court
The whole process is confidential and typically much faster and cheaper than going to court.
