Ian believes that trial is the last resort to solving disputes. Parties resort to litigation because they have reached an impasse in their attempts to resolve their differences. Ian’s role is to assist the parties in breaking the stalemate. Ian is a practical problem solver. He realizes that litigation is expensive, time-consuming and inconvenient and uses every tool at his disposal to resolve your dispute efficiently.
Mediation focuses on understanding the positions of both sides, discovering information and inventing solutions. A mediation is conducted in a spirit of cooperation and collaboration, rather than in fierce competition.
Mediation can be a very productive way to reach a mutually agreeable resolution in which all parties and counsel will play an active part.
Evaluative and facilitative mediation are two different styles of mediation which can be used separately or in combination depending on what is right for you.
Ian uses a flexible approach, based on the needs of the parties and the case, to help the parties find the path to settlement.
What’s going to happen? Joint Sessions? What is “Caucus”? The mediation process is tailored for the case.
Successful mediation has the same ingredients as successful litigation: Preparation, Preparation, Preparation.
