Here at Mediation Innovation, we approach mediation in the same way that successful negotiators approach deal-making.

Our Mediators apply a business-centric approach to resolving disputes by encouraging participants to develop synergistic, win-win solutions that create additional value for both parties.

Most Mediators are just Litigators trained to operate in the adversarial arena, splitting the difference and shuttling offers back and forth. These techniques utilized in traditional mediation processes often fail to consider the parties' business interests and frustrate the participants.

The Mediation Innovation process rejects these traditional tactics, by communicating with decision-makers one on one and advocating for each party in the exchange of information,.

In addition, we help determine each party's underlying business interests and apply evaluative techniques to encourage solutions that address those interests.
