Resolving Conflict when the relationship matters – that’s what we do!

Our Approach

We bring together dispute resolution professionals in arbitration, mediation, conflict coaching and financial planning to offer a holistic approach to resolving disputes so the issues are settled while the relationship moves forward.

Solution Focused

Whether your dispute involves family, business, or community relationships we have the team that can move you beyond the conflict to a new way of relating. At CLIP, we create a defined path to achieve a positive outcome, using a mediation/ arbitration process to resolve and decide all of the legal issues in your dispute. Parties are assisted by a trained mediator to define and express the expectations underlying the conflict. Stakeholders and the mediator then work together to craft a settlement that is mutually acceptable to both sides.

We help parties identify issues, explore options and understand likely outcomes before they commit to a solution.  The process is non-adversarial, there are no rigid rules or mandatory outcomes. The decision making belongs to the parties throughout the entire process. We work with parties to craft solutions that create long-term stability and success. We look forward with the parties to discern what they will need in the future and then help them develop a strategy for getting there.

 

Legally Binding 

Our solution focused model, “Solution-Focused” offers  legal protection;   both parties emerge with a legally binding agreement that embodies their priorities,  meets financial expectations, moves parties past conflict and is mutually acceptable to both sides.
