Description
Second Offering. Two hours of mediation services, provided by Simeon Baum, of Resolve Mediation Services, Inc. (www.mediators.com or www.disputeResolve.com ). Simeon Baum has been mediating since the early '90s (over 600 mediations by now), in a wide range of disputes relating to: the insurance industry (coverage, personal injury, property damage, reinsurance), the securities industry (customer broker, or broker/broker-dealer), business matters, employment discrimination or workplace disputes, partnership issues, fraud claims, real estate matters, intellectual property, and, more recently, matrimonial matters (e.g., divorces) as well. His reported mediations include the architectural fee dispute between Studio Daniel Libeskind and Silverstein Properties concerning the World Trade Center Freedom Tower, and Donald Trump's current dispute alleging underselling at $1.76 billion of the Hudson River development on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Mediation is the use of a neutral third party to facilitate the resolution of a dispute by the parties themselves. The mediator helps the people who have a dispute communicate with each other in a quiet, confidential setting; focus on what their issues are; see what they care about - what their interests are - and then to consider each other's feelings and perceptions, understand one another better, consider possible options for meeting their needs and resolving the dispute by agreement; and also consider what might happen if they do not resolve the dispute - including the costs and risks of going to court, as well as other alternatives and consequences to not reaching a negotiated agreement.
