Resolve Mediation Services, Inc.

What makes Resolve Mediation Services special?
Combining Litigation Skills with a Facilitative Approach that Recognizes that Mediation and any Resolution should be Driven by the Parties, not the Mediator.
Blending Litigation Skills With Facilitative Approach.
Simeon H. Baum, President of Resolve Mediation Services, Inc. blends a substantial background in litigation with experience in and commitment to non-directive, party driven mediation.
Empowering Parties.
The Resolve mediator earns trust and credibility from treating the parties with respect, using active listening skills, demonstrating genuine caring and engaging in substantial preparation. Mediation is not about "arm twisting" or other coercive settlement methods. Rather, the mediator empowers the parties and assists them in finding ways to resolve the dispute in a manner consistent with their own needs, interests and standards.
Legal Expertise.
While not acting as a lawyer in the mediation, the Resolve mediator comes to the table with substantial experience as a litigator. Analytic skills and familiarity with the litigation process enable the mediator to speak the language of counsel and meaningfully explore with counsel and parties their best and worst alternatives to a negotiated settlement in light of a nuanced legal backdrop.
Listening Skills.
The focus of a mediation must be the parties and their concerns. This requires the ability to open communications and encourage an open exchange of information, perceptions, ideas and feelings. The mediator thus seeks to elicit the parties expression of not only their positions, but their needs, interests and, indeed, themselves. Open expression is engendered by a tone of candor, neutrality, non-directive attention to the parties, the ability to rephrase and reframe in ways that let one party hear while the other party feels heard.
Problem Solving.
Simeon H. Baum, President of Resolve Mediation Services, Inc., bringing to the table 20 years experience as a litigator and substantial experience as a mediator, employs a non-directive, investigative style, utilizing litigation expertise to help parties arrive at their own analysis of strengths and weaknesses and move into areas of interests in search for creative ways of resolving their dispute.
