Certified Mediator- Whelan Walker Mediation (see Mediation fee schedule)
As a certified mediator and alternative dispute resolution specialist with over 30 years of experience as a complex business attorney, I am an ideal choice for anyone seeking a skilled and experienced mediator for a business or real estate matter. I bring a unique combination of legal knowledge, practical experience, and dispute resolution skills to the table.
One of my key strengths as a mediator is my extensive experience in complex business matters. Throughout my legal career, I have represented clients in a wide range of business disputes, from breach of contract and fraud claims to shareholder disputes and partnership dissolutions. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the complex legal issues that can arise in business mediations and a skillset to navigate these situations effectively.
Another strength of mine is my experience with the latest mediation techniques and best practices. As a certified mediator and alternative dispute resolution specialist from USC Gould School of Law, I have undergone extensive training in mediation techniques, including the use of interest-based bargaining and collaborative problem-solving techniques, which enables me to craft creative solutions to complex disputes.
Additionally, I recognize that effective mediation requires more than just legal expertise, it requires the ability to build trust and rapport with the parties involved. I utilize an empathetic and solution-oriented approach when engaging with parties to help them achieve common ground and resolution.
Furthermore, as a mediator, I facilitate an environment that is conducive to productive discussions, with an emphasis on open communication and active listening, while maintaining diplomacy and neutrality throughout the mediation process.
Finally, hiring me as a mediator can help parties achieve a timely and cost-effective resolution to their complex business or real estate matter. With my extensive legal experience, mediation skills, and practical approach, I provide parties with an effective path toward resolution and can help them avoid the stress and uncertainty of expensive litigation.
