Mediation offers an opportunity for rational exploration of potential solutions to disputes that reconcile differing interests. In many disputes, mediation can expand parties’ options for creative resolutions beyond the limited range of outcomes typically available in contested litigation. 

Delaware ADR’s Professional Neutrals are uniquely qualified to foster principled negotiation, identify parties’ business goals and options for mutual gain, and guide parties to craft durable agreements to resolve disputes. Where a total separation of interests is not the best outcome for the parties, Professional Neutrals can mediate resolutions that involve renegotiation of sophisticated business relationships.  

Our Professional Neutrals’ dedication to ADR translates into deep engagement with every mediation before them. Delaware ADR’s team drills down on the factual and legal issues, as well as the needs and goals of the parties and other key stakeholders. Our mediation process prioritizes party and counsel access to their mediator. All parties participate in ex parte strategy sessions with the Professional Neutral to increase the likelihood for success during mediation sessions.

The team at Delaware ADR is especially well-qualified to manage mediation of complex disputes complicated by factors such as numerous parties, related insurance coverage disputes, or a need for limited pre-litigation discovery.  One of Delaware ADR’s tools for mediating disputes with significant legal complexity is co-mediation. Vice Chancellor Glasscock is available to co-mediate as a neutral subject matter expert to address discrete issues.  His involvement promotes principled negotiation, allowing for a more robust discussion of litigation risks and a more realistic assessment of the parties’ respective positions.
