Mediation services by
award-winning attorney
Katherine K. Huang
When a dispute arises, Katherine guides the parties to a comprehensive, lasting resolution they can agree on. Rather than leaning on the parties to compromise quickly, she addresses the parties' concerns and focuses on their interests. Her mediation process is cost-effective and produces a more useful and satisfying result than a court judgment.
Katherine facilitates dialogue by moderating group discussions and one-on-one meetings. By thoughtfully managing the conversation, she aims to ensure that all voices are heard, comments stay on-topic, and discourse remains respectful and productive. She can help in a variety of settings, from employee meetings to discussions among opposing counsel.
Rather than merely hammering out a compromise, Katherine works with the parties to identify root causes of conflict and to formulate a durable, comprehensive, and satisfying resolution that addresses the conflict and allows the parties to move past their dispute.
Katherine will not merely shuttle back and forth with offers and counteroffers. She asks targeted questions to draw out the relevant details of the parties' businesses and relationships, and uses that knowledge to help craft a game-changing solution to the parties' problems.
As a woman of color who was a partner at a national law firm and then founder of an award-winning litigation boutique, Katherine knows firsthand that people's backgrounds and experiences affect their priorities, concerns, and communication styles. She is committed to ensuring that all participants are heard and that assumptions, biases, and gender or cultural differences do not prevent parties from reaching an agreement with each other.
Katherine has spent her entire career working closely with people to find creative and complete solutions to their problems. Known for her smarts and straight talk, Katherine understands what people care about and helps them focus on what really matters.
Katherine's fee structure is designed to motivate all participants to take the mediation process seriously and not waste anyone's time. If disputes are resolved more quickly than expected, she will refund fees paid for unused mediation time.
