We settle your
case. We negotiate your deal. We train your workforce.

Mediation and Arbitration Services
Reaching settlements utilizing mediation or arbitration
depends to a large extent on the quality of the neutral.
Our neutrals bring unusual passion, experience and remarkable
effectiveness to the table - attributes essential to individuals
and corporations involved in critical and high-profile legal
proceedings.
At Civil Settlements, the record of our neutral speaks
for itself, and what it says is remarkable. The degree of
efficiency and economy which we bring to bear by settling
cases before excessive litigation costs are incurred is
extraordinary.
Negotiation Services
The firm is uncommonly devoted to ensuring its clients
are extraordinarily well-represented when faced with diverse
contract negotiations. We use our experience to ensure nothing
is left on the table after your deal is complete.
We are often asked if we are able to help local talent
with their contract negotiations. The answer is a resounding
YES. We are especially sensitive to our up-and-coming clientele
of newly emerging start-up artists and we are well-positioned
to help these individuals begin their journey in a positive,
knowledgeable and prosperous manner.
Seminar/Motivational Speaking Services
on Negotiation Practice
Having a workforce with well-honed negotiation skills is
simply good business and our negotiation seminars are no-nonsense.
You will not find "trust" exercises or cooperative
building block projects on our agenda. In fact, one of the
first things your employees will be taught is NOT to trust
the opposing side. Sound counterintuitive? Well, not when
you are teaching negotiation skills.
We know that the bottom-line purpose of your company is
to make money - and so do your employees. Your employees
want the tools they need to meet your high expectations
and to provide the excellence you count on.
Our dynamic seminars not only provide the essential tools
of negotiation to your employees, they infuse your employees
with excitement and the knowledge that they have the means
to excel in both their personal and business lives.
But we don’t stop there. We continue the momentum
and solidify the newly learned skills of your employees
by providing insightful and confidence-building follow-up
training seminars.
Your employees are smart, savvy and know that the bottom-line
purpose of your company is to make money. We teach the negotiation
skills that they can use to succeed and accomplish that
goal. They want these real life skills, not a cold but interesting
day of self-exploration in ice caves.
