Clear thinking for difficult disputes.

I help people understand their options, evaluate risk realistically, and make informed decisions about what comes next.

Over 10 years as a mediator and 15 years as a litigator.

Leigh Chandler

A flexible, case-by-case approach

Every dispute has legal, financial, practical—and human—issues.

01

Every case is different

There is no single right style of mediation. I adapt the process to the people, the issues, and what is most likely to make the conversation productive.

02

Good decisions matter

Settlement is the goal, but it also matters that every party and attorney leaves understanding the options, risks, and alternatives.

03

Curiosity before conclusions

Understanding what is actually preventing movement often reveals opportunities that are not obvious from the pleadings or opening positions.

Guidance for where you are

Start with the questions most relevant to your role and your mediation.
