Virtual Mediation – Breaching the Geographical Divide and Saving Money.

lifesize_video_conferencing

Constant advances in technology have made it possible for us to accomplish tasks which we have never even dreamed of. Including collaboratively sharing ideas, documents, time and even face-to-face conversations from the comfort of our homes or offices. It is these very technological advances which allow Right Triangle Mediation to breach the geographical divide and save money in the process.

Many of our clients conduct business across the US or even the globe and like in any business problems arise which sometimes require a facilitator to settle. More times than not we deal with lawsuits in California and still use virtual mediation instead of traditional. If you are located in Hollywood and the opposing counsel is in Orange county, while the insurance adjuster is in San Fernando valley it only makes sense to remain at our own locations and communicate via phone, fax, email or video conference. Imagine how much time, money and frustration you save not having to travel for hour in the world famous Los Angeles traffic.

Virtual mediation is around 50% less expensive than traditional. When you count travel time, office space, gas and all other expenses the $225 per hour mediation turns into almost a $450 per hour process. With virtual mediation you pay on per case bases with some cases costing as little as $395 and having no minimum time.

So having all the benefits of standard mediation while paying less for it and avoiding travel time should be a no brainer. Of course, there are concerns and thousands of questions you probably have in regards to this new way for dispute resolution. So naturally, we advice you to call for a consultation and see if this is right. After all if it is not, then the standard mediation is always available.

NBA Lockout: Litigation, Mediation, and Realization.

When NHL experienced its lockout in the 2004-2005 season officially canceling all games and not having the Stanley Cup awarded for the first time since 1919 all because of a labor dispute I was devastated. A part of me, however, was interested in how the resolution was reached and exactly…

Homeowner Associations – Past Due Fees and Mediation

Problems between homeowner associations and tenants are as old as time itself. From maintenance issues to escalating monthly payments, there is always something to argue about with your homeowner’s board.
