Not every case fits neatly into a mediation or arbitration box. At PowerHouse Mediation, we design Customized ADR Solutions that adapt to the complexity, personalities, and pressure points of your dispute.
From hybrid processes to staged negotiations, we collaborate with legal teams, courts, and parties to build dispute resolution frameworks that actually work—efficiently, ethically, and effectively.
Customized ADR refers to flexible, tailored alternative dispute resolution processes designed to meet the specific needs of a case. Whether that means combining elements of mediation and neutral evaluation, appointing a discovery referee, or creating a phased resolution plan—PowerHouse has the experience and creativity to make it happen. Think of it as dispute resolution without the template. You bring the challenge. We design the solution.
🟣 Complex, Multi-Party Litigation
When standard mediation won’t address the layers of claims and interests at play.
🟣 High-Conflict Dynamics
Where communication barriers, trust issues, or prior breakdowns make traditional models ineffective.
🟣 Stalled or Failed Resolution Attempts
If prior mediations or arbitrations haven’t worked, a fresh approach might unlock movement.
🟣 Blended Legal and Emotional Issues
In cases involving family business disputes, probate conflicts, or closely held partnerships.
🟣 Court-Directed Innovation
When a judge orders or encourages parties to design an ADR process that fits the case’s unique contours.
🟣 Mediation + Neutral Evaluation Combo
Start with a candid case assessment before shifting into facilitated negotiation.
🟣 Phased Settlement Structures
Staged resolution with built-in timelines, contingencies, or evaluative checkpoints.
🟣 Panel Neutrals
Use multiple neutrals—e.g., a subject-matter evaluator paired with a settlement-focused mediator.
🟣 Private Discovery Management
Appoint a neutral to oversee document exchange, privilege disputes, or deposition schedules.
🟣 Confidential Reality Testing
Private, one-on-one sessions with parties or counsel to test assumptions and explore movement.
🟣 Creative and Strategic Thinking
We don’t just follow the script—we help you rewrite it when needed.
🟣 Multi-Disciplinary Experience
From torts to trusts, contracts to custody—we’ve handled it all and know how to adapt.
🟣 Respected Neutrals
Our team includes retired judges, experienced trial lawyers, and full-time ADR professionals known for their insight and impartiality.
🟣 Process Design You Can Trust
We partner with parties and counsel to create a roadmap—clear, customized, and client-centered.
Whether you’re looking for a court-approved custom ADR plan or need a confidential process built from scratch, PowerHouse Mediation is your strategic partner in resolution.
