More About Mediation

Haas ADR tailors its approach to each case. In Mediation, the mediator’s role can be facilitative, evaluative, or transformative (among other styles). Facilitative Mediation encourages parties to identify their own underlying interests and craft a voluntary agreement. Evaluative Mediation (often used in court-ordered cases) features more mediator input on issues and likely outcomes. In transformative Mediation the focus is on empowering parties, strengthening communication and transforming their relationship. We can also use hybrid med-arb processes: parties first attempt facilitated negotiation and, if needed, the designated arbitrator then issues a binding decision. Online “e-mediation” is also available for parties in different locations. These options mean we can handle simple landlord-tenant or consumer complaints, complex family matters, as well as complex commercial partnerships on terms that best fit the dispute.
