Resolution
without destruction.
A confidential, structured path to resolution. Both parties work toward a binding agreement without the cost, delay, and unpredictability of litigation. If mediation does not produce a resolution, the dispute can still be pursued through a demand letter or formal complaint.

Mediation is a structured negotiation process where a neutral third party — the mediator — helps two disputing parties reach a voluntary, mutually acceptable agreement. Unlike litigation, mediation is confidential, typically faster, significantly less expensive, and allows both parties to control the outcome rather than leaving the decision to a judge or jury.
The mediator does not make decisions or impose outcomes. Instead, the mediator facilitates communication, identifies common ground, helps each party understand the other's position, and guides the conversation toward resolution. If an agreement is reached, it is put in writing and becomes a binding contract.
Mediation is effective for commercial disputes, partnership disagreements, contract breaches, employment conflicts, and any situation where the parties have a continuing relationship or where the cost of litigation would exceed the amount in dispute. Many courts now require mediation before allowing a case to proceed to trial.

What You Receive
Mediation Session + Settlement Agreement
A complete mediation engagement that includes pre-mediation preparation, a position paper summarizing your interests and objectives, the mediation session itself, and — if resolution is reached — a written settlement agreement that is binding on both parties.
Position Paper
A confidential document prepared before the mediation session that outlines the facts, your legal position, your objectives, and your proposed resolution. This is shared with the mediator only — not with the other party — and frames the negotiation in your favor.
Settlement Agreement
If mediation results in a resolution, we draft a written settlement agreement that memorializes the terms both parties agreed to. This document is legally binding and enforceable in court.
How It Works
Describe the dispute
Tell us who is involved, what the dispute is about, what you have already tried, and what outcome you are hoping for. We will assess whether mediation is appropriate for your situation.
We prepare your position
Before the session, we draft a position paper that frames the dispute in your favor, identifies your priorities, and prepares negotiation strategies. You review and approve before the session.
Mediation session
The session is structured, confidential, and led by a certified mediator. Both parties present their positions, explore options, and work toward an agreement with the mediator's guidance.
Agreement or next steps
If resolution is reached, we draft a binding settlement agreement. If mediation does not result in agreement, you retain all your rights to pursue litigation or other remedies.

Brenden M. Moore is a Certified Mediator who has trained extensively in structured negotiation and conflict resolution — including formal certification through the Center for Conflict Resolution in Chicago, a Certificate in Alternative Dispute Resolution, and a first-place finish in the Negotiation Competition at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law. What that means for you: the mediator in the room has studied how disputes resolve, not just how they escalate.
His mediation sessions are structured around one goal: a signed agreement both parties can live with. He has mediated commercial disputes, partnership disagreements, and contractual conflicts where the parties arrived convinced litigation was the only option — and left with a binding resolution that preserved the relationship and avoided the cost of court.
Litigation is a tool. Mediation is a solution. The difference is who controls the outcome — a judge, or the people who actually have to live with the result.
