Work it out together, without the courtroom.

A quick estimate

How much could mediation save you?

Three quick questions. You will see a rough comparison between the court route and a two hour mediation session.

How it works

Six steps, and most matters finish in one session.

1

Free consult

A short call to hear what is happening and see whether mediation fits. No cost, no obligation.

2

Prepare privately

Each of you shares your side with the mediator beforehand, so nobody walks in cold.

3

Meet online

One video session, about two hours, from wherever each of you is comfortable.

4

Stories and agenda

Both people say what matters to them, uninterrupted. Together we write the list of what to solve.

5

Work the options

We take the list one item at a time, including private conversations if that helps things move.

6

Leave with an agreement

What you decide gets written up and signed on the call, so the day ends with something real.

Why people choose mediation

You keep the decisions, and the relationship.

It costs less

One flat session instead of months of billable hours on each side.

You stay in control

No judge decides for you. Nothing is final until both of you agree to it.

It stays private

Court filings are public record. What happens in mediation is confidential.

You can keep talking

Co-founders, co-parents and neighbors still have a life together afterward. This protects that.

What we help with

Three kinds of rooms we hold.

Founders & startups

Co-founder splits, partnership terms, equity and vesting, IP and who owns what. Resolve it before it costs you the company.
