Facilitation, Mediation and Arbitration

When parties are in dispute it can be difficult to identify the relevant issues at the core of the impasse.

Jon works proactively with parties to tease out the issues that are important to them and find a resolution without the time, expense and uncertain outcome of litigation.

It begins with Jon bringing the parties together in a confidential setting (with or without advisors) to initiate a discussion. From there he identifies the core issues, designs a facilitation, mediation or arbitration process, and ultimately guides the parties through their options on terms and settlement.

Jon’s many years of experience has found lasting resolutions in:

• partnership and shareholder disputes
• construction and infrastructure disputes
• employment disputes
• professional negligence claims
• family succession and inheritance claims
• property disputes (including landlord and tenant)
• franchise disputes

Assignments are carried out on a fixed fee basis or by other flexible arrangements as negotiated.
