A Better Way to Move Forward…Roger Levitt Mediation

The Value of Mediation

Disputes happen in life. Perhaps you entered into a partnership agreement full of hope and with the best of intentions, but now the relationship has deteriorated and both partners need a reasonable and fair solution to end their business relationship amicably.

When parties agree to disagree, the next step is usually litigation. The role of a litigator is to bring the dispute to light and take the steps necessary to preserve their client’s legal rights. Court proceedings can be lengthy costly and emotionally draining for all parties involved. Both sides cannot walk out of the courtroom pleased with the outcome: as someone wins, and someone loses.

There is another way to resolve disputes: Mediation. This is a more personable and non adversarial alternative to the litigation process. Mediation allows participants to effect prompt, cost-effective solutions to a dispute in a manner that is less confrontational and less formal. Both sides gain by using a qualified, independent mediator to guide the settlement process forward. Mediation allows all parties to craft their own solution, which can be more innovative and flexible than court decisions.

    He was relaxed, personable, a good communicator, completely impartial, and had a very good grasp of the general issues. His experience as a mediator was evident and instilled confidence

    Thanks for being so welcoming, open and instructive yesterday. You gave me a terrific experience of what it takes to mediate in complex three way issues. I was very glad to spend 11 hours with you!

    The other side were particularly difficult and Mr Levitt was professional and patient. He went beyond the call of duty and without his tenacity this case would probably have not got to mediation at all. 

    We liked his focus and tenacity.

    I found his approach calming in stressful discussions. I also liked and appreciated his idea of using charity to disarm the negotiations towards the end

    The client was very emotional and I feel Roger handled a delicate situation very professionally. We would use him again.

    I love Roger’s due diligence, ability to think outside the box and his passion… Louise Heasman, Founder Modern Day Marketing

    Roger is both very professional and personable. He really gets to the core of the situation, is very thorough and ultimately strives for a beneficial solution by using his expertise. I would highly recommend Roger for anyone in need of his services.

    Many thanks for allowing me to observe the mediation on Wednesday. Of the three I have observed to date, it was by far the most fascinating. I think you did very well to create momentum from what appeared to be an irretrievable position!

    Overall we felt that the mediator and assistant were excellent.
