Draft pending professional review

This page is a starting draft. It has not yet been reviewed by a qualified professional and will be updated before it is relied on.

The information on this website is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. Sean Collinson serves as a neutral mediator and does not represent either party. Using this website or contacting the office does not create an attorney-client relationship. Each matter is different, and no result is guaranteed.

Mediator’s role

A mediator helps parties communicate and negotiate. A mediator does not make decisions for the parties, advocate for either side, or provide legal, financial, or tax advice. Parties are encouraged to consult their own advisors, including before signing any agreement.

Training and affiliations

References to training through Harvard’s Program on Negotiation, Loyola Law School, the Florida Supreme Court, and the FBI describe Sean Collinson’s training history. Sean’s volunteer service with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is separate from this practice. None of these institutions endorses this practice or its services.

Confidentiality

Statements on this website about confidentiality are general. Confidentiality in mediation depends on the applicable law and the agreements the parties sign, and it is subject to exceptions.
