Mediation and Dispute Resolution

The John Paul Jones Group provides a number of different alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes for resolving disputes less expensively and with far less stress than through litigation. It is best to "fit the forum to the fuss". The Group is able to provide expert advice about the most appropriate ADR process to use for a particular case or circumstances.  

The Group also has available a panel of neutrals who are qualified for whichever process is selected, including

• Mediation
• Arbitration
• Special Master
• Corporate Ombudsperson
• Early Neutral Evaluation
• Neutral Fact-finder
• Mini-trial Advisor and Other Specialists

Having an alliance with a broad spectrum of ADR professionals, it is likely that there is a neutral whose background is particularly suited for the case at hand. The Group is part of a strategic alliance with Silicon Valley Mediation Group providing mediation services for business and technology cases emanating from Silicon Valley.
