Mediation Services
Helping people to resolve their own disputes is our most important
service.
CDS has successfully mediated almost every type of dispute:
- within government agencies and nonprofit organizations
- between employers and employees
- between government and private citizens
- between citizens’ groups and local governments, commercial
or residential developers
CDS’ staff has helped to foster thousands of successful,
mediated settlements in a wide range of disputes. Rather than
rushing into litigation, CDS enables people to meet with an experienced
mediator, talk out their differences and try to reach an agreement
that satisfies the interests of everyone concerned.
One of our specialties
is the resolution of conflicts in the workplace. Our clients include
the Department of Energy, FDIC, Federal Reserve Board, and U.S.
Office of Compliance, NASA, U.S. Postal Service, FBI.Mediation is the alternative to litigation that assumes disputants
can act in their own enlightened self-interest and avoid expensive,
time-consuming litigation with its aggravation, adversarial nature,
and expense.
A CDS mediator’s job is to:
- promote dialogue
- diffuse hostility
- stimulate negotiation
- suggest pathways toward settlement
CDS’ Mediation Services are available through the GSA Federal
Supply Schedule – FSS No. GS-23F-0001J.
