Who We Serve

We are often asked whether we represent employers or employees. That kind of binary thinking works better for litigators, and we stopped accepting new litigation cases on December 31, 2023. Entirely focused on keeping workplace disputes out of court, we work neutrally with organizations and their leaders, regardless of the titles they hold in those organizations.

We’re not looking for who to blame but what problems need to be solved and how to solve them.

  • For organizations –> Sustainable Workplace Alignment
  • For leaders –> Executive Workplace Navigation
  • For both –> Conflict Resolution and Intervention

Client Examples

Since 2003, our clients have primarily been among the top businesses in their respective industries, such as:

  • Building materials manufacturing
  • Elevator construction, repair, and maintenance
  • Funeral services
  • Entertainment and sports
  • Higher education
  • Law
  • Security
  • Transportation
  • Wellness

As we have evolved, our client base has expanded to include businesses like ours that seek more sustainable ways of operating–and the people who lead them from the bottom up and top down. We also attract a lot of do-it-yourselfers, freelancers, and creatives–people who respect the parts of our systems that work, but who are also committed to challenging and improving them.
