Problem.

Litigation has an avaricious appetite for time and money—
exacerbated by clogged court calendars, seemingly endless
discovery (often including expensive electronic discovery), and
ever-increasing fees and costs—and is imbued with a rigid
process and a pervasive uncertainty as to outcome.

Isn’t there a better way?

Solved.

There is.

Mediation is a way to resolve disputes that are in litigation, or
to avoid the need to resort to court.  Unlike litigation,
mediation is a timely and cost-effective process that enables
parties to resolve their disputes and achieve certainty.  For
parties with an ongoing business relationship, mediation
provides a less adversarial forum in which the parties can
resolve their immediate conflict, and then move forward.

Mediation at BDRS

Mediation is a voluntary, confidential, and informal process
where an impartial third-party—the mediator—assists the
parties in reaching a resolution of their dispute.  Although the
mediator guides the process, the mediator is not acting as a
judge, arbitrator, or fact finder.  The parties—not the mediator—
decide how the dispute will be resolved.

At BDRS, mediation is based primarily on a facilitative model of
mediation (derived in part from concepts developed at the
Harvard Negotiation Project), where the mediator facilitates
communication and negotiation among the parties, and helps
the parties explore and define their interests and goals, and  
develop options for a resolution.  The process is tailored as
needed to meet the needs and desires of the parties, and to
provide services in an efficient and productive manner.

Please see the
Mediation Process at BDRS for detailed
information about how sessions are conducted, and
confidentiality.

Please see
Principles of Mediation for a summary of the
principles of mediation followed at BDRS—including the
confidential nature of the sessions.
