There are requirements for Alternative Law mediators to completely achieve goals. There must be an excellent process and procedure and willing participants. And for success, there must be expert mediators who stand behind and guarantee their work.
Many of our Alternative Law mediators and consultants have been mediating, training, and consulting negotiating for over 10-25 years. We specialize in providing mediators from different generations, ethnicities, industries and communities. This helps to effectively bridge generational and cultural differences. When our mediators are not engaged as neutrals, they serve as business consultants and advisors. They advise to various businesses and family businesses. The refine strategic plans, provide succession planning and craft resolutions to complex business or family issues.
Our mediators have been trained by Bar Association approved institutions such as Cornell University, Harvard Law School, the Council of Family Mediators, Mass.

Roger Fisher
As part of its series of honoring and recognizing outstanding teachers and mediators from all over the world, Roger Fisher as a teacher and founder of mediation in America is hereby designated as an original Master Of Mediation.
Roger specialized in mediation, negotiation and conflict management, educated us all on resolution principles. He was the co-author (with William Ury) “Getting to YES,” the classic book on “interest-based” negotiation, as well as numerous other publications. After finishing his law degree at Harvard, arguing several cases before US Supreme Court. He worked on both national and international disputes, well recognized all over the world. He later returned to Harvard Law School.
After seeing so many costly and frustrating disputes as a litigator, Fisher help develop the art and science of how we manage our conflicts as humans and as professionals. Fisher was one of the founders and led the Harvard Negotiation Project and began interviewing professional negotiators in order to understand their successful techniques.
Like Alternative Law mediators, Roger taught and believed in putting theories into practice. Assisting individuals and companies with actual disputes was critical to developing useful problem resolution tools. This tradition at the Harvard Negotiation Project produced a local, national and world wide community of well trained consensus and collaborative thinkers including those of us at Alternative Law. We are forever in his debt and are so honored to have had the opportunity to work and learn from him.

FRANK SANDER
Professor Frank Sander was another true Master of Mediation that we honor. He taught many of us and is regarded as one of the leading expert on alternative methods of dispute resolution and is one of the pioneers of the field and is credited with creating the term ADR, Alternative Dispute Resolution.
Among other innovations, one of his early papers put forth the idea of the “Multi-Door Courthouse,” a court system that helps direct disputants to the most appropriate route to resolution. Multi-Door Courthouse systems are presently in use in much of the United States
Frank makes connections across disciplines. His confidence and spirit inspire him to try new things. People marvel at his willingness to tackle difficult problems with creative methods. This often happens in business and family business settings.
Harvard Law School Lecturer on David Hoffman said: “Just as important as all of these contributions, has been Sander’s mentorship of many hundreds of people over the years –from all walks of life–who sought to develop careers as scholars and practitioners of mediation and arbitration.
Alternative Law mediators encourage all of those interested in peace making to give it a chance.
