Tom McNeill ADR

A focus on
building trust with clients & counsel

I bring an independent, neutral and unbiased perspective to the factual, legal and practical complexities of a business dispute.

As a mediator, I focus on building trust with clients and counsel. I fully engage client decision-makers as the single most important factor in a successful mediation.

Working collaboratively with business people and their attorneys, I assist in bringing to conclusion the risk, uncertainty, expense, distraction, and the enormous investment of time and energy required for the daily battle and grind of litigation.

Tom McNeill as Mediator
Client-Centric Mediator

The Touchstone of Mediation

I am a low volume, high value mediator. I accept just one matter per week. I study the details of the merits and risks of that matter; and when we all come together on mediation day, I work tirelessly with business clients and their lawyers to assist in identifying a resolution that works for everyone.

I focus on the business clients and their decision-makers. I do care deeply about working collaboratively and creatively with all stakeholders in reaching fair and reasonable mediated resolutions.

If the matter is not resolved on mediation day, I engage in proactive and persistent follow with calls, Zoom/Teams conferences and meetings to reach settlement terms that work for everyone.

Mediating with Tom McNeill

Mediation Focused on Business Decision-Makers

I seek to facilitation resolution in a way that best benefits the parties, ultimately brings them closure, and ends throwing more money into the fire of litigation.

I have observed, curated, selected, collected, and refined a combination of mediation practices that I embrace.

My goal, approach, and strategy is designed to place business people in the best position to move forward in a constructive and positive way, to conclude the dispute in a way that enables them to do what they do best, which is to build and maintain a successful business.
