Based in Washington, D.C., Bickerman Dispute Resolution, PLLC, serves clients throughout the United States and internationally. We are a full-service dispute resolution firm offering:
- Mediation: Mediation assists parties to a conflict reach agreement through negotiations. We offer an analytical approach to mediation. This is marked by our thorough preparation and ability to adapt the process as necessary over the course of the proceedings.
- Arbitration: In arbitration, a neutral third party reviews the facts and legal issues involved in a dispute and makes a final, binding decision. The parties have significant latitude in determining how the arbitration will be structured.
- Facilitation/consensus building: A neutral third party assists parties to achieve their goals by organizing and running effective meetings or gatherings. Using an outside facilitator allows the individuals involved to more freely express their concerns; increases productivity by keeping participants on task; and reduces tension between parties by ensuring clear communications and that all voices at the table are heard. The goals of facilitated meetings may range from exploring and discussing issues, to educating participants, to gathering public input, to making recommendations or decisions, or combinations thereof. When the goal is to develop recommendations or make decisions, the facilitator works to build consensus between and among participants to develop agreements that all or most of the group support, thereby increasing the likelihood of their implementation.
- Complex litigation management: Extremely complex difficult-to-settle multi-party cases can benefit from the use of complex litigation management in which a court- or party- appointed neutral third party, or special master, assists the litigants with discovery, trial preparation and settlement strategies. In some cases, the neutral can make recommendations on contested issues that the trial court can adopt or reject.
