Commercial Mediation
Resolve the dispute. Keep your business moving.
Business disputes involve more than competing legal positions. They can affect operations, financial stability, professional relationships, and the decisions a business needs to make next.
At Approved Dispute Resolution, we help businesses and their counsel move beyond positions to understand the interests driving the dispute, assess litigation risk realistically, and explore practical options for resolution. Our approach brings the legal issues and business priorities into the same conversation so parties can make informed decisions about their next steps.

A resolution that reflects what matters to your business
A monetary demand may be the starting point, but it rarely tells the whole story. A business may need payment certainty, a workable transition, protection of valuable relationships, or a clear separation that allows everyone to move forward.
Mediation creates an opportunity to discuss those priorities alongside the strengths and weaknesses of the case. Depending on the parties’ needs, negotiations may address payment schedules, future performance, transition arrangements, confidentiality terms, or other obligations that make an agreement practical to carry out.
Preparation that moves the conversation forward
Productive mediation begins with understanding what happened, what is disputed, and which facts could materially affect the outcome. We work with counsel to focus the discussion on the evidence, damages, costs, and business concerns that matter most to the settlement decision.
That preparation includes the difficult facts as well as the favorable ones. A realistic assessment helps parties understand their options and determine whether a proposed resolution serves their legal and business interests.
A thoughtful, neutral approach
Founded by Lori Adelson, Esq., Approved Dispute Resolution approaches mediation with preparation, careful listening, and attention to the interests behind each party’s position. We help parties communicate in a way that allows the other side to hear them, evaluate meaningful options, and work through difficult decisions.
The parties retain control over whether to settle and on what terms. Our role is to help them make that decision with greater clarity.
Give resolution your best shot.
Whether the goal is to preserve a relationship or bring a business conflict to a close, thoughtful preparation and focused negotiation can create a path forward.
