Services

Robert Berliner applies his problem-solving and deal-making skills to the art of mediation. Over 95% of the disputes that Bob has mediated have resulted in settlement. He brings to the process the legal and business acumen he has developed over the past 35 years as an attorney, real estate developer and investor, and business owner. His uncommon blend of real-world business and legal expertise gives him a unique and powerful perspective as a mediator.

Bob believes that mediation enables the parties to resolve their dispute by considering business, relationship and other interests that go far beyond the legal issues that a judge or arbitrator can decide. A settlement reached in mediation is much more likely to satisfy the needs of all parties than a decision by such a third party.

While many mediators have practiced law, few also have a background in business. As a businessman himself, Bob understands how people involved in conflicts have interests that must be addressed that are much broader than mere legal issues. As such, he is unusually well equipped to help parties identify the widest possible range of options for settling disputes. As a skilled and experienced attorney, he also brings a full understanding of available legal remedies to the mediation table.

Parties to a dispute mediated by Bob put their trust in him to use his seasoned outlook and vast experience to get to the heart of the dispute and help them find the common ground that leads to a settlement.
