CPI Partnering Arbitration and Mediation Services

It can often be helpful for partners to have an independent third party to turn to when they need help. For Example:

• In assembling a partnering you can run into difficult issues that can be resolved more easily with the help of an independent and reasonable viewpoint.
• Lawyers can get locked up into unreasonable positions. As an outsider we can ask tough questions to open the issues, find reasonable compromises, and break the deadlock.
