Happy Holidays

Reflecting on this past year, we are so grateful to have worked with you. Thank you for selecting us to resolve disputes for your clients. As we embark on 30 years of serving your ADR needs, neutrality has always been one of our guiding principles. As we enter the holiday season, we respectfully request you refrain from sending gifts to our neutrals and staff. Your feedback to us and recommendations to others are more than enough expressions of gratitude.

From our family to yours, we wish you a healthy and joyful holiday season.
