  3. Comprehensive Analysis: Each case is evaluated based on 7 key drivers to meet all parties’ procedural needs and de-escalate conflicts.
  4. Mixed-Mode ADR: Customized processes combine mediation with such evaluative or adjudicative elements and other ADR neutrals as may be desired. For more information, see What We Do.
  5. Mutual Satisfaction: Fees are earned only if a mutually satisfactory settlement is reached, ensuring impartiality.
  6. Risk-Free Engagement: Our interests are fully aligned with those of our clients and their counsel. Clients have complete self-determination and minimal risk. Success fees are low and due only if a settlement is reached.

Our 7 Key Drivers For Process Design

  1. Costs: reducing the costs of reaching an effective outcome
  2. Time: optimizing the time needed to reach an outcome
  3. Relationships: providing for the parties’ desire to maintain or repair relationships, and setting a cooperative tone for resolving the dispute (including reputations and third-party stakeholders)
  4. Control of Process: accounting for the parties’ desire to control procedural matters (e.g., discovery, submissions, lawyers, witness testimonies, etc.)
  5. Control of Outcome: meeting the parties’ desire to control the outcome of the process (e.g., final findings of fact, law, liability, damages, reimbursement of attorneys’ fees, etc.)
  6. Confidentiality: providing for the parties’ desire to keep the dispute and/or its outcome confidential, to the extent permitted by law
  7. Enforceability: addressing the possible need to have the outcome recognized and enforced domestically or internationally.

Diagnosing

Using the forms available via our portal, we analyse each case, the possibility of it escalating further, and the likelihood of the case settling based on the answers to a series of multiple choice questions. We provide a free diagnostic at the end of every Application Form. No confidential information about the facts or positions taken by the parties are needed for this diagnostic.

We propose a customized “mixed mode” ADR process that should be able to resolve the case faster, cheaper and better (within less than 3-6 months, and for less than 1/3rd of the costs of going to trial) after a party fills out the forms on our portal. They are provided in the form of a modified “Riskin Grid”, indicating what types of dispute resolution processes should be considered for each case.

Implementing

Should the parties agree to work with InnovADR after receiving a proposal from us, we assist them in putting that recommended process into practice. This includes assistance in identifying and selecting appropriate ADR Neutrals for each case. Our proprietary portal also has a module that assists each party in doing so. We help the parties to work in accordance with any institutional rules that may apply, or on an “ad hoc” basis.

Financing

InnovADR is not a consulting firm that charges fees for services. It actually invests its own money and pays upfront for the fees of the ADR Neutrals and any ADR institutions itself, aligning its interests with those of the parties. It takes the risk of the dispute not settling on itself, bringing the parties together at no cost to them. Its willingness to pay these fees itself, upfront and to work only a on a “no settlement, no fee” basis is an indication of its confidence in its recommendations and the processes it helps the parties to design and implement. Other than a small administrative fee when an agreement is signed with InnovADR and the other parties (the 4th step in InnovADR’s process), the parties do not pay InnovADR anything unless and until the case settles.
