Alternative Dispute Resolution - McLean, Virginia, United States
BeyondConflict LLC provides fresh, effective approaches to preventing disputes and resolving complex cases.We get what's at stake. Many organizations spend millions of dollars annually on litigation, not including liability and settlement costs. Damaged relationships and reputations, distracted, disengaged employees, and lost opportunities all compound the cost of disputes. Litigation deprives parties of control over process and outcome.We have the experience. Before litigating complex cases in private practice, Virginia Hoptman clerked for US Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and Third Circuit Chief Judge Collins J. Seitz. She is a mediator for the DC Circuit and District Courts. Before resolving high-stakes disputes for Unisys Corporation, Charlie Rowan litigated in private practice and clerked for Howard Corcoran, U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia. Charlie is a Supreme Court of Virginia certified mediator and past Chair of the ADR Section of the Fairfax Bar Association.Charlie and Virginia bring their combined experience and perspectives to help parties reframe the conflict dynamic from adversarial to collaborative. They help organizations of all kinds: RESOLVE complex cases by getting to the heart of the matter, working with the parties to identify key issues, framing the challenge as a joint search for mutual gain, and brainstorming options for resolution. Early, proactive mediation enables parties to minimize litigation cost and risk and maximize opportunities for satisfying solutions. We also provide neutral case evaluation, for one party or for all, at any stage of a dispute. PREVENT conflict from escalating in the first place, helping to identify incipient or likely areas of conflict, drafting and implementing dispute-prevention contract clauses, and providing facilitated resolution and ombuds services.
