Beyond Dispute’s Basic Services
Administration Services
Beyond Dispute, Inc. offers third party administration of the broadest possible range of ADR processes, specially tailored to meet the unique needs of each case. Whether designated by contract, or agreement of parties after the dispute has arisen, Beyond Dispute’s Case Administrators will work with parties and their attorneys to design and/or implement appropriate procedures and rules. We also offer a full array of industry standard Rules of Procedure for the most frequently used ADR processes, including Early Neutral Evaluation, Mediation, Arbitration, Mini-Trails, and Private Judging.
Submission Services
Absent pre-existing contracted agreement to a specific process, all parties must agree to involve themselves in any proposed ADR process—which is very difficult when the relationship has turned adversarial.
Beyond Dispute will accept unilateral submissions for any case. Our experienced ADR consultants will discuss the most effective process and approach the necessary parties to seek submission. We also nominate candidates to serve as neutrals from our national network.
Neutral Convening
Neutral Convening is a process through which a Beyond Dispute professional assists the parties in reaching agreement on any issue. Neutral Convening facilitates decision-making and consensus-building between the parties. Parties reach agreement on the steps to be taken in order to go forward with a plan, solve a problem, resolve a conflict, or settle a dispute.
Training and Consulting Services
Beyond Dispute offers a full range of mediation, negotiation, conflict management and collaboration courses for individuals and organizations. Our courses provide an effective blend of experiential and skills-based learning where what is learned in a classroom-like setting is immediately put into practice. Each course can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the client.
Our experienced ADR Consultants work with clients to custom design training and systems. We also offer access to a national network of the most qualified vendors and neutrals for referral whenever needed.
Coaching and Mentoring Another essential component for the creation of effective individuals and organizations is coaching. Our staff enriches the elements of training by putting it into practice through individual coaching. We begin by identifying strengths and weaknesses, then we create a plan for skills-building while on the job. We empower clients to set goals, chart their progress, meet challenges, overcome obstacles, and succeed.

Beyond Dispute’s Philosophy
For more than two decades, Beyond Dispute has addressed the many issues that prevent disputes from resolving and that diminish the effectiveness of organizations. Our mission is to identify those issues and provide the most appropriate and professional response. Accordingly, Beyond Dispute offers a full menu of products and services that can be used to create or strengthen systems for early resolution of conflict between individual parties or within an organization. Our experiences have led to the creation of philosophies and values we believe truly are…beyond dispute:
Conflict has the potential to be a powerful, positive force in all relationships. When handled well, it leads to creative change and improved effectiveness and profitability.
Early identification of conflict and consensus building through third party facilitated submission and neutral convening is critical to maximizing effectiveness.
Unresolved conflict is a drain on resources: Time, Money, and People.
Early resolution through mediation and training is the most cost effective way to resolve conflict. It is also the most lasting.
Developing conflict management systems for internal and external application enhances an organizations overall ability to manage conflict effectively.
Beyond Dispute works with you to create an effective, efficient resolution system. All products and services are customized to meet the unique needs and requirements of each organization or dispute.
