Dispute Resolution


cloudvisual-DCtwjzQ9uVE-unsplash.jpg

Our conflict resolution strategy developed from successfully resolving thousands of litigation matters for the past 20+ years around the globe. We are unique in our cultivating of global relationships in 32+ countries around the world and utilize these relationships in assisting our clients in their respective international courts, arbitration and mediation forums.

Most people choose how cooperative to be in a conflict early in their lives. We are raised in natural conflict with ourselves, parents, siblings, friends and authority figures, as well as subjected to a variety of beliefs dictated by the media, religion, family, culture and society. Everyone processes conflict differently, yet our brains are all built the same. When under extreme stress or threat, our brain shifts in to fight, flight or freeze resulting in a handful of conflict behaviors.

We offer a highly personalized approach to dispute resolution and have handled international disputes between U.S. clients in Spain, Russia, Japan, Italy, China, Taiwan, Dubai, Serbia, Ukraine, and related countries.

Michelle also has over 250 hours of training as a mediator for local and international disputes, which adds to her ability to advocate either as a client representative at mediation or serve as a neutral mediator or facilitator.
