What Makes Butler Online
Mediation Distinctive?
The Butler Online Mediation
Process is distinctive from any other online mediation process in
that it is specifically designed for online mediation of complex
multi-party disputes and mass litigation. Instead of an open ended
forum offered in a chatroom-like format, the General Exchange is
specifically tailored to your case with preset fields to be
completed which comprise the evaluation criteria used by both sides
to assess appropriate settlement values.
The Butler Online
Mediation Process provides clear advantages over a traditional
mediation format. Our process disintermediates the opening rounds of
a real-time one-location mediation. Instead of a consecutive series
of individual meetings with the mediator requiring thirty-five
lawyers to queue up and impatiently wait their turn for their short
conversation with the mediator, the lawyer can submit information
vital to evaluation of the case against his particular client any
time of the day or night during a prescribed time frame. Our process
also differs from the normal real time mediation process in that it
does not require a sequential communication of offers by the various
defendants through the mediator to the plaintiff. Instead, the
parties make offers and demands online asynchronously when advised
by our direct email promptings that your client has received an
offer/demand. |
