Mediation offers a confidential and efficient forum for resolving business disputes, including issues between partners, vendors, or clients. Whether the conflict involves arm’s length contracts, fiduciary duties, or internal operations, mediation can enable the parties to address concerns without the cost, delay, and unpredictability of litigation through a trial. With a skilled mediator like Mr. Robbins,  parties can work toward tailored solutions that preserve business relationships and keep operations on track.

Commercial disputes involving transactions, service agreements, leasing, and business-to-business conflicts are often well-suited for mediation. These cases typically benefit from a neutral mediator who understands the complexity of commercial law and can guide both sides to practical, business-focused resolutions. Mr. Robbins brings a wealth of commercial litigation and overall business experience to his mediation practice, helping parties resolve disputes efficiently while maintaining confidentiality and business continuity.

Construction disputes often involve multiple parties, technical issues, and costly project delays. Mediation provides a structured environment for resolving claims involving contracts, performance, payment, defects, or scheduling— and if employed pre-suit, without the burden of court proceedings. Mr. Robbins understands the nuances of construction law. First costs and the Slavin Doctrine are not new to him. He works diligently to identify common ground among owners, contractors,  subcontractors, and suppliers. His focused and informed approach helps projects move forward and relationships stay intact.

Frankly, the most mediated cases are likely to be personal injury claims, as they usually dominate the court filings every year. Through Mediation, both the injured claimant and the insurance company opposing him/her, would rather end the dispute than have to leave the result in the hands of a judge or jury. By assisting the participants to understand what they face by continuing a suit, and how they can better their situations by avoiding a prolonged litigation and ending it on their own terms then and there, Mediation often provides the parties with the only favorable forum in the entire process. Should that Mediation occur before a suit is filed, all the better are the parties’ chances to close an unfortunate chapter and open new possibilities. Even if the Mediation occurs after a litigation has commenced (which is most common, unfortunately), Mr. Robbins well knows that often neither party “can afford to win,” so he works hard to try to bring the parties to a resolution that enables them to effectuate self-determination for themselves, their families, and businesses.
