What We Do:
We are cannabis legal professionals with industry veterans offering mediation services to parties in conflict that want to avoid the uncertainty, stress and economic strain of litigation.
We have witnessed cannabis biased judges and juries in our legal system render grossly unfair results to cannabis industry participants. We favor mediation because it gives the parties, not a judge or a jury, complete control over the outcome.
As professional mediators, we don’t represent either party or offer legal opinions. We are neutral facilitators dedicated to helping the disputing parties mutually reach a concrete settlement agreement that faces forward, not backward towards conflict.
Your Settlement Is Our Success!
Why We Do It:
Cannabis mediation is cannabis advocacy. Employing our unique dispute resolution skills, we help our industry heal, mature and reach its potential.
When parties use the courts, they relinquish significant control over the cost, process and outcome of their dispute.While mediation requires unwelcome but equal compromise, it routinely delivers successful outcomes. That’s why most U.S. courts require litigants to engage in some form of alternative dispute resolution before proceeding to trial!
Successful mediation rarely means the parties get what they originally demanded, but always means the parties have control over the outcome in the form of a concrete settlement agreement that faces forward, not backward towards conflict.
Your Settlement Is Our Success!
How "We" Work:
Mediations are typically half or full day mutually scheduled remote video-conference events, either with or without legal counsel. Mediation fees are equally shared by the parties and paid in advance. The fees cover up to 4 hours of advance preparation (including analysis of the parties’ confidential position papers) and then a full or half day of mediation services.
Typically, the mediator meets independently with each of the parties then facilitates a back and forth communication geared towards ending the conflict on mutually agreeable terms. The parties need not see each other unless they mutually choose to do so.
The mediator’s bearing is full neutrality, fairness, and confidentiality. Nothing is shared with the opposing party without specific direction. The entire process is confidential and governed by laws prohibiting divulging anything shared or said during the entire mediation process to outside parties.
Our mediators use candor to help the parties: (1) fairly evaluate their relative case strengths and weaknesses, (2) explore common ground, and (3) focus on solutions that promote future growth beyond the dispute.
