Dispute Resolution Services

Conflict is an inevitable part of human interaction — present in every biological, social, cultural, political, and economic relationship. At its essence, conflict represents competing interests, needs, values, or perspectives. While it is often viewed negatively, conflict itself is not inherently harmful. When managed effectively, it can drive innovation, strengthen relationships, and enhance organizational performance.

At Oakmont, whether via zoom or in-person, we work with businesses, government organizations, and individuals, to transform the way conflict is understood and addressed. Our approach focuses on solving disputes creatively, constructively, and confidentially, allowing us to reduce the costs associated with conflict while maximizing its potential to create clarity, collaboration, and lasting value.

In short, our mediation services can be defined as a structured, confidential process facilitated by a neutral third party — the mediator — who assists participants in communicating effectively to reach mutual understanding and resolution. As mediators, we do not impose opinions or decisions but instead, we  guide the parties toward finding their own agreement.  All mediation discussions are strictly confidential, promoting open communication and trust. The mediator will not share any information without the parties’ consent, ensuring integrity throughout the process. 

Our mediation services are perfect for a variety of areas, including:

Real Estate

Personal injury

Labor and employment disputes

Insurance practices

Breach of contracts

Business disputes and litigation

Family and elder matters

Educational disputes

Disputes within the real estate sector can quickly become complex and costly—particularly when disagreements halt major developments or delay transactions for extended periods.

Landlord–tenant conflicts are often among the most challenging. Through our mediation, parties can achieve faster, more cost-effective resolutions compared to traditional litigation. This approach not only minimizes disruption and expense but also promotes collaboration and helps projects move forward with greater alignment and mutual confidence.

Our system provides a confidential and structured way to resolve disputes between employees, teams, or management. We will facilitate open communication to clarify issues, improve understanding, and help parties reach mutually acceptable solutions—without imposing decisions. 

Our system resolves disputes effectively to create a harmonious and productive environment because it promotes trust, reduces tension, prevents costly turnovers,  and restores collaboration, thereby creating a more positive and productive workplace.  

Equipping your team with the skills to navigate conflict and build collaboration gives your organization a competitive advantage.  

We focus on enhancing employee skills, leadership capabilities, and overall workplace performance. Through our tailored training programs, strategic coaching, and team development initiatives, your organizations can strengthen communication, improve collaboration, and align staff with company goals. Effective organizational development fosters continuous growth, adaptability, and a positive work culture—driving both individual success and long-term business performance. 

 Our system allows us to focus on empathy, respect, and genuine understanding rather than rigid procedures or legal formalities. It recognizes that conflicts often stem from miscommunication, emotions, or differing perspectives. By creating a safe space for open dialogue, the make sure everyone at the table feel heard, valued, and empowered to find common ground.
