Rather than wait until the 11th hour to try and mediate, why not try and settle early before costs and acrimony stack up? Early Dispute Resolution is an emerging form of mediation that focuses on building trust, simplifying the issues, and ultimately resolving the case before the parties have spent significant time and resources. (The guidelines can be found here.)

Evan is trained in Early Dispute Resolution. With active facilitation by the mediator, EDR starts right away and works over a period of time to make sure the parties are fully informed and able to negotiate with confidence. While a backstop mediation is scheduled, the goal is to get the parties across the finish line before that date arrives. Proactive, methodical, and informed, EDR is a brilliant way to settle your case.
