Why we formed General Counsel Mediation.
“Because you should
be in control”, General Counsel Mediation, LLC provides a unique forum
for disputing parties to resolve their disputes in a confidential,
non-judgmental manner.
If asked directly,
few people would choose to put their most critical decisions in the hands
of strangers. Yet, essentially that is what happens day after day,
when a jury of 12 strangers or even a judge hands down decisions in
litigation.
We formed General
Counsel Mediation, LLC to help put the parties back in control of
litigation. Mediation is a facilitated negotiation between the
parties. It provides an opportunity to avoid litigation altogether, or
to resolve litigation at an early stage, thus avoiding the negatives
of the litigation process.
We are each former
Vice Presidents & General Counsels of NYSE companies who have
substantial experience in dealing with and resolving disputes
involving business, commercial, construction, and community issues.
In our role as
General Counsel, we served as both lawyer and client. We have
extensive hands-on experience in managing litigation, conducting
win-win negotiations in a broad commercial context, and resolving
disputes through alternative dispute resolution. We understand the
frustration of litigation - the mounting expenses, consumption of time
and other resources, the loss of focus on other matters, and the
emotional drain.
We know how business
people approach issues. We believe that our experience provides unique
insights that can help parties resolve disputes involving business
considerations.
The philosophy of
General Counsel Mediation is that mediation works best when it is
conducted by a mediator who is an active facilitator with an
understanding of the substantive issues involved, and with the ability
to help the parties think “outside the box.”
If you are looking to
regain control of a dispute, to avoid litigation, or to end
litigation, we’d be pleased to discuss how General Counsel Mediation
can help you get back in control.
