PRACTICE PROFILE

Frank McLean, Mediator & Facilitator

Welcome...: Frank McLean, Mediator and Facilitator
from diverse viewpoints to mutual decisions and action... sm

- party-to-party or multi-party dispute management
- governance, strategic management, collaboration

with individuals, organizations, professionals and communities

Approaches: The Practice is professionally and politically independent. It collaborates with clients, parties, their advisors and stakeholders in dispute management or change management in diverse settings. Client work is confidential, individualized and driven by client interests and priorities. It is based on joint client-practitioner needs assessment, design and engagement management.

Benefits: Mediation and facilitation are non-adversarial processes. The role of mediator or facilitator is neutral, assisting parties to clarify, negotiate and navigate their interests toward understandings, agreements and possible settlement. In a neutral, respectful, supportive setting, parties can more effectively engage their short, medium and long term issues and interests. Initiative, dialogue and productive options are increased. Risks, stress, duration and costs are decreased. Proposed understandings, plans and actions gain credibility in various ways - including their feasibility, value, durability and acceptance. In working toward settlement, parties are better able to craft a package of win-win agreements that becomes a better option going forward than their alternatives.

Legal Considerations: Legal rights, interests and options require independent legal advice and/or representation by, as well as collaboration with, appropriate legal counsel.
