Best for

Proactive Entrepreneurs and Corporate Counsel.


This isn't for people currently in a fight; it’s for people who want to decide how they will fight if a problem arises later.


By building "Mediation-First" clauses into your initial contracts or employee handbooks, you ensure that any future friction is handled via a pre-planned, lower-cost route.

Who needs this?

You may benefit from mediation planning if you:


  • Are launching a new LLC or partnership and want to "pre-decide" how disagreements will be handled.

  • Are drafting new employment contracts and want to include a "Mediation-First" clause to lower future legal risks.

  • Are an entrepreneur who wants to protect your brand from the public record (court cases are public; mediation is private).

  • Want to ensure that any future friction is handled via structured dialogue rather than immediate litigation.

How we help

Why Choose Mediation?


The Golden Rule of Mediation: It is best suited for those who want control over the outcome. In court, a judge decides your fate; in mediation, you decide the resolution.
