Mediation
The Greene Espel mediation team leverages decades of high-stakes litigation experience to deliver efficient, practical dispute resolution—understanding what drives successful outcomes because we've fought these battles in court. As Minnesota Rule 114 Qualified Neutrals, we also meet the state's certification requirements for alternative dispute resolution.
Strategic Mediation Experience
We have litigated the very types of disputes we now help resolve, including complex commercial litigation, employment disputes, intellectual property disputes, securities matters, products-liability lawsuits, and multi-party business conflicts. Our litigation background enables us to quickly assess case strengths and weaknesses, anticipate potential outcomes, and guide parties toward practical solutions.
We have spent decades working with in-house lawyers, witnesses, and executives. We pride ourselves on having keen people skills—knowing how to read a room, connect with participants, and understand the interpersonal dynamics underlying disputes.
Our mediators have tried cases, seeing firsthand how juries and judges react to arguments and witnesses. We bring our trial experience to the mediation table, explaining the practical realities—and unpredictability—of putting a dispute in a fact-finders’ hands.
Comprehensive Resolution Services
We provide confidential mediation services across the full spectrum of disputes, including contract disagreements, partnership dissolution, employment conflicts, products-liability, personal injury, and intellectual property matters.
Our approach combines strategic analysis with skilled facilitation to help parties understand their positions, explore creative solutions, and achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.
We aren’t here simply to pass numbers back and forth between rooms. We will dig in, learn the case, and put in the work to help you resolve your case.
Efficient and Cost-Effective Process
Drawing on our extensive courtroom experience, we understand the true costs—financial, temporal, and relational—of protracted litigation. Our mediators are committed to engaging all participants, making everyone feel heard, and driving toward fair, workable resolutions that save time, reduce expenses, and minimize the stress of prolonged conflict.
Whether your dispute involves complex financial instruments, multi-jurisdictional issues, or sensitive business relationships, our mediation team has the experience and strategic insight to guide you toward resolution.
