Mediation
Seventh Sovereign provides specialized mediation services helping parties resolve conflicts and avoid costly litigation. Mediation helps parties work through conflict by identifying shared underlying interests even when this seems all but possible. These shared interests then become the foundation of a new relationship providing unforeseen options for partnerships, agreements, or long-term collaborations. Robert Harper is America’s leading expert and practitioner in conflict resolution involving Tribes. He specializes in interest-based mediation involving Tribes, agencies, and issues entailing land, natural and cultural resources, environmental risk, consultation, and treaties. These bespoke, neutral, and confidential services have led to negotiated agreements helping Tribes, non-profits, agencies, and private sector parties formalize positive relationships. The resulting outcomes avoid lengthy litigation, human suffering, environmental harm, and significant damages.
