Neutrals

Each neutral within our mediation company operates as an independent contractor, thereby setting their own rates, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) cancellation policies, and scheduling minimums. As such, the cost of hiring a neutral may vary depending on the specific professional chosen for your case. We are committed to providing detailed information regarding the rates, policies, and scheduling requirements of our neutrals upon request, ensuring transparency and clarity in our pricing structure.

PowerHouse neutrals are highly qualified professionals with extensive experience in mediation, conflict resolution, and relevant and varied substantive areas in the law.    They undergo continuous training to stay updated with the latest techniques and best practices in mediation.

We have robust procedures in place to identify and address conflicts of interest among our neutrals. This includes disclosing any potential conflicts upfront and recusal when necessary to ensure the integrity and neutrality of the mediation process.

Absolutely.   Clients are welcome to request specific neutrals based on their preferences or recommendations.  If  you are uncertain who to select, we will assist you to carefully consider your needs and strive to accommodate them whenever feasible, taking into account factors such as availability and suitability for the case.
