Litigation is expensive, slow, and public. For most business disputes, mediation delivers a faster, confidential resolution that protects both your bottom line and your working relationships.

Andrea brings six years of senior paralegal experience in complex litigation — she understands how disputes escalate, and how to resolve them early. Her legal background combined with mediation training makes her a practical, insightful partner for business conflicts.

Sessions are confidential, flexible, and can be scheduled as partial or full-day engagements. Final agreements can be made legally binding at the parties' request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why mediate instead of suing?
Litigation often costs $50,000–$500,000+ and takes 18–36 months. Mediation typically resolves in 1–3 sessions at a fraction of the cost. It also keeps the dispute confidential — court filings are public, which matters for reputation, customer perception, and competitive information.
Can mediation work if we already have lawyers?
Absolutely — and it often works better when both sides have counsel. Attorneys can attend sessions, advise their clients, and review any final agreement. Many business matters use mediation specifically to reach resolution without trial.
What kinds of business disputes do you handle?
Partnership and shareholder conflicts, contract and commercial disputes, workplace and employment issues, business dissolutions, succession disagreements, and commercial real estate matters. If you're unsure whether your situation fits, reach out to discuss.
Is what we say in mediation confidential?
Yes. Communications during mediation are treated as confidential under applicable state law, and generally cannot be used as evidence if the matter proceeds to court. Exceptions exist for threats of harm, reports of abuse, or court orders.
Can we do this remotely?
Yes. Most business mediations work well over video, which also simplifies scheduling across multiple parties, counsel, and time zones. In-person sessions are available for matters that benefit from being in the same room.
What if we don't reach an agreement?
Mediation is voluntary — parties can walk away at any time. If no agreement is reached, you're free to proceed to litigation, arbitration, or other options. Nothing said in mediation binds either party unless it's captured in a signed agreement.

Resolve It. Move Forward.
