Dispute Resolution
Mr. Roy is a certified mediator, arbitrator, project neutral, third
party facilitator and sometimes serves as an advisor to parties who are
involved in the resolution of a construction dispute through negotiation,
but whose process has become stagnant due to the unrealistic expectations
of one or more of the parties. In such cases, Mr. Roy can bring a fresh and
unbiased approach to the situation resulting in a more productive and
realistic continuation of the resolution process. This kind of intervention
has broken stalemates in the past which have resulted in acceptable
settlements.
