Its principals, Peter Meyers and Joan Parker, are nationally recognized arbitrators and mediators with 50 years’ combined experience in both the private and public sectors.

Moreover, their two-person, male-female approach heightens confidence in their neutrality, gives credibility to their results, and enables employers to mount investigations that are free of structural bias.
