Corporate Mediation
Unresolved, mismanaged or litigated corporate conflict and disputes will negatively impact company profits, customer service, corporate culture, employee morale and productivity. Conflict management training and coaching of managers and employees and mediating disputes before they reach litigation with lawyers mitigate the negative impacts of disputes and instead turn conflict into opportunity.
Divorce and Separation
Don’t be a victim. Take control. Reduce your stress, cost and time spent on your separation and divorce by avoiding battles between divorce lawyers. Become an empowered decision maker, guarantee your financial and parenting outcome and put your children first by mediating a settlement. Mediation allows couples to find creative solutions that maximizes the net worth of both parties and fosters amicable co-parenting.
Elder Mediation
With an aging population, Elder Care is the number one social issue. Disparate views regarding what is the best quality care for an elderly person, when it should be given and how it is delivered often leads to conflict between family members, care providers and the elder person. Mediation strengthens family relationships not destroy them and keeps the focus on the care of the elderly person.
Choosing Mediation
over Lawyers
Neutral Third Party ∙ Calming Presence ∙ Strategic Plan ∙ Creative Resolutions
Conflict mediation is an affordable alternative dispute resolution method of resolving conflict in both family and corporate matters outside of the traditional more adversarial legal system or courtroom where you decide the outcome, instead of a judge.
PRM Mediation brings two conflicting parties to the table, along with a professional mediator. It is the role of the mediator to act as a neutral third party to hear both sides of the story to be able to determine the root cause of the conflict and then to create a future-based plan as determined by both parties with optimal outcomes for all concerned. Clients can be spared the traumatic experience of having to go to court or be subjected to drawn out legal exchanges – between divorce lawyers or corporate lawyers – which in the long run not only saves dignity, but also time and money and does not do irreparable harm to reputations and relationships. Both parties work with a mediator as participants rather than combatants to formulate a resolution agreement which is workable and helps optimize wealth and create a win-win for both.
PRM Mediation Focuses on Areas Where the Highest Incidence of Conflict Occurs
In divorce and separation, our mediation has a focus on protecting children by creating workable parenting plans which include housing, child support, visitation and custody as well as future-based planning for children’s ongoing needs including education. Division of Net Family Property includes restructuring debt, minimizing taxes and balancing liquidity between couples. We work hand in hand with Divorce Lawyers to finalize separation agreements.
In Elder Care, a delicate balance is needed in transitioning roles and responsibilities. Assessing living situations, day-to-day activities and finding the best options for an elder person can be difficult for family members. Situations are further complicated by second marriages and step children. Care providers and agencies have legal and legislative responsibilities in providing their services which can be compromised or challenged when conflict occurs. We work with all stakeholders to find a solution in the best interests of the elder person and avoid the cost and trauma of a legal battle with lawyers – especially for the elder person.
In corporate conflict, our aim is to provide management and employees with the skills and tools to proactively resolve internal and external conflict and change it into an opportunity for growth, innovation and success. Where necessary we mediate a resolution. How a company resolves issues is closely observed by the rest of the organization and its customers.
Conflict if not managed well can reverberate through…
…an organization, families and last for generations leaving people in emotional and financial ruin. Instead you can leave behind a legacy of harmony, peace and order. Mary Krauel, senior mediator for PRM Mediation describes in this video how she uses mediation in conflict resolution by addressing the greatest human need – to be heard and understood. That it is not about who is right and who is wrong. It is about providing the mechanism for people to have a voice and be heard allowing resolution to occur.
