Recently, we had the opportunity to interview Attorney Gregg Bertram, who is the founder and CEO of Pacific ADR Consulting, LLC, which is a company that specializes in mediation and arbitration. Although Pacific ADR’s headquarters are in Seattle, the company is now expanding into other areas of country. Gregg and his team of panelists are often able to help parties resolve legal conflicts without having to go to trial or arbitration.
PR4P: Why did you start your own mediation business?
GB: Over the years, I’ve had lengthy affiliations with other professionals who work in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and I thought I could create a business that was agile and had a high degree of quality. Whether mediators are affiliated with large businesses or they are solo practitioners is not as important as it is to be a true neutral. A good mediator must have the ability to inspire trust from all the parties, and to follow through on that trust. We have a small but dedicated panel who are committed to ADR as a preferred way to settle disputes.
PR4P: How is Pacific ADR Consulting different from other ADR businesses?
GB: The small size of our panel, coupled with their collective range and depth of experience, along with their willingness to share in both an individual and team approach, brings tremendous value to our clientele. We spend a lot of time evaluating and selecting our panelists. While the quality of our panelists’ experience and practice areas are important, one of the most notable qualities about our panelists is that they share a strong commitment to consistently resolve disputes through mediation.
