Alternative Dispute Resolution

When a wrong must be made right, the first thought is an attorney - what many don’t realize is that they don’t need an attorney for many civil matters. That’s right! Cases from divorces to personal injuries to business matters can be settled outside the courtroom - it's so common that many experienced attorneys use it regularly. Mosaic offers these services without their high costs.

When a wrong must be made right, the first thought is an attorney - what many don’t realize is that they don’t need an attorney for many civil matters. That’s right! Cases from divorces to personal injuries to business matters can be settled outside the courtroom - it’s so common and effective that experienced attorneys use it regularly (Texas Law Help). Both personal and professional issues benefit from Alternative Dispute Resolution, resulting in a more efficient, less costly, and more satisfying process (Texas Statutes). So why go the roundabout way, through expensive attorneys, opposing counsel, and the costly courts, when you can save time and money by going directly to ADR instead? Mosaic offers a range of ADR services, allowing clients to choose the best process to fit their needs. Solution Smarter with Mosaic.

Conflict Analysis, Strategy & Advising

Whether the situation is just beginning or it feels too far gone, having a professional examine it will make for decisions that better achieve your desired outcomes whether it’s happening at work or in the family. Not sure what you want? That’s okay! Learn about what options you may have by scheduling a free consultation before emotions overtake the situation. 
Common Scenarios

  • Complex workplace, family or personal disputes.
  • Complicated situations with a wide array of parties, interests, and factors involved.
  • Scenarios where the client is unsure of the desired outcome.

Mediation

Did you know that when faced with the threats of conflict, higher-order functions of the brain are diminished, inhibiting better behavior and favorable outcomes? Mediators help overcome this hurdle and other impasses by working to include all sides in collaborative dialogue to forge lasting solutions. In as little as a day, you can see the solution that seemed impossible!

Common Scenarios

  • Workplace dispute between employees, managers, or employee-supervisor
  • Divorce cases 
  • Property damages disputes
  • Inheritance issues among family
  • Service agreement disputes
  • Landlord-tenant disputes
  • Custody issues between parents
  • Intimate relationship conflict with personal issues (trust, betrayal, behavioral issues, etc.)
  • Business partnership disputes and dissolving 

Facilitation (Small & Large Group)

If you’ve ever lost your train of thought in discussion or wished there was someone taking notes and bringing up forgotten topics, then you probably wanted a facilitator and didn’t know it. Balancing the outspoken with the timid voices, bravely bringing up that avoided topic, and so much more, facilitators structure and guide the conversation while you and your people get to focus on decision-making. Whether you want meetings to go smoother or need consensus building to finalize decisions, Mosaic can deliver.
Common Scenarios

  • Custody agreements done collaboratively, ahead of time
  • HOA decision-making meetings
  • Consensus-building initiatives
  • Business strategy meetings among diverse stakeholders and decision makers

Still negotiating like the 1800's, where you go high and they go low, testing who's most stubborn? Ready to apply the knowledge and data of the 21st century? Now you can. With specialized training and knowledge of cutting-edge practices that have been applied (successfully) in deals from business mergers to peace treaties between nations, Mosaic's techniques go beyond brute force and pressure. Discerning what matters from what doesn't, where interests overlap, and so much more, Mosaic can create strategies to achieve far more than mere compromises.

Negotiation Advocacy

The deal needs settling, but you don’t have the time or energy to invest in strategy or coaching to handle it yourself - Mosaic can negotiate private matters on your behalf, leaving you to focus on what matters while a professional protects you and your interests. Retain your voice in the matter and get progress updates while enjoying insulation from the fuss. 
Common Scenarios

  • Private Negotiations
  • Disputes between individuals, an individual and a business, and between businesses
  • Not Personal Injury Claims or Insurance Disputes (Green v. UPLC)

Conflict Management Trainings & Workshops

In a CPP Global Human Capital Report, nearly all (95%) who were trained in conflict management reported that it helped not only themselves but the others around them. Yet, the majority of those surveyed (60%) were never trained at all (CPP inc., 2008). So why do so many employers choose to wait until the problem escalates to hire help, costing them more in the long run? Mosaic’s consultants have given dozens of training sessions, workshops, and presentations, so they are familiar with presenting the latest research insights to drive practical change in any organization.
Common Scenarios

  • Social worker upskilling
  • Management training
  • Upskilling high-conflict workplaces
  • Intervention preparedness
  • Improving the longevity of interpersonal relationships
