A focused approach to workplace conflict resolution

Workplace disputes are rarely confined to a single legal or interpersonal issue. They may involve competing factual accounts, ongoing employment relationships, human rights considerations, organizational interests, reputational concerns and the practical realities of litigation.

Using flexible combination of facilitative, evaluative, and interest-based mediation techniques, tailoring the process to the unique needs of the parties and the dispute. Depending on the circumstances, I may also employ transformative or shuttle mediation approaches to improve communication, explore resolution options, and help parties reach practical, durable agreements.

❋ Thorough Preparation

Effective mediation begins well before the session itself. The parties' materials and submissions are reviewed in advance to understand the factual background, legal issues, positions and potential barriers to settlement.

❋ A Tailored Process

The mediation process is adapted to the circumstances of the dispute. Depending on the matter, this may involve joint discussions, private caucuses, counsel-led negotiations or a combination of approaches.

❋  Practical Risk Assessment

Where appropriate, parties are assisted in examining the strengths, weaknesses and practical implications of their positions, helping move discussions beyond entrenched positions toward realistic settlement options.

❋ Focus on Resolution

The objective is not simply to facilitate discussion, but to create a productive process in which the parties can meaningfully evaluate their options and determine whether a negotiated resolution is possible.
