Mediation Services
A Smarter Way to Resolve Disputes
At Katie Charleston Law, PC, we know that not every dispute needs to be fought in court. Mediation provides an effective and efficient alternative to litigation, allowing parties to resolve conflicts with less time, expense, and stress. As experienced litigators and problem-solvers, we bring deep knowledge of our practice areas—intellectual property, business, estate planning, and entertainment law—into the mediation process to help clients reach practical and lasting solutions.
Why Choose Mediation?
Cost-Effective: Mediation is significantly less expensive than prolonged litigation.
Efficient: Disputes can often be resolved in days or weeks rather than months or years.
Confidential: Unlike court proceedings, mediation is private and protects sensitive business and personal information.
Collaborative: Parties have a voice in shaping the outcome, often preserving relationships that litigation might destroy.
Flexible: Solutions can be creative and tailored to meet the needs of both sides in a way a court judgment may not allow.
Mediation in Our Areas of Practice
Intellectual Property Disputes
From trademark conflicts to copyright licensing disagreements, mediation can protect the value of your brand and creative works without the public risks of litigation. We help businesses, creators, and entrepreneurs find solutions that safeguard their intellectual property while avoiding costly courtroom battles.
Business and Partnership Disputes
Partnership breakups, contract breaches, and shareholder disagreements can quickly derail a business. Through mediation, we guide business owners toward fair and strategic resolutions that keep companies moving forward and minimize operational disruption.
Estate and Family Disputes
Inheritance and trust disagreements often carry emotional weight. Mediation provides a private and respectful setting for families to work through disputes, preserving relationships while ensuring assets are distributed according to the law and the family’s wishes.
Entertainment and Creative Industry Conflicts
Disputes in the entertainment world—whether over contracts, credits, or royalties—can jeopardize careers and reputations. Mediation allows for confidential, industry-sensitive solutions that support creative collaborations and protect future opportunities.
