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.

A Partner Acquisition Campaign

Here is how we do it:

  • We develop a One Page Strategy Sheet for your specific situation.
  • We analyze your existing competitive position.
  • We follow an "Eight Point" process to determine (a) who has what you need, (b) what it is you have, or can obtain, that they may need, and (c) how best to get them to seek you out.
  • We develop and implement a campaign to draw pre-qualified and motivated partners to you. Click below to find out more.
