An initial request is not a commitment to mediate. We begin by understanding the general situation, who may be involved, and which next steps make sense.
Let us know your contact details, state, and the broad nature of the dispute or consulting need.
Our team considers available information about participants, role conflicts, safety considerations, and relevant process requirements.
If VirNet appears suitable, we can explain the proposed service, who should participate, anticipated fees, and possible scheduling.
Only after appropriate arrangements are made do we proceed with preparation or a substantive mediation session.
Complete the brief inquiry form below. You do not need to write a detailed case history: a sentence or two describing the category of disagreement and who generally needs to participate is enough to start.
These are the main areas in which VirNet provides neutral mediation or separately scoped conflict consulting. Our intake conversation can help clarify the appropriate path.
VirNet serves individuals, families, businesses, and organizations through remote mediation and other carefully defined conflict-resolution services. Our team brings experience in negotiation, law, civil rights administration, higher education, and organizational leadership.
In a mediation engagement, our professionals act as neutralsānot advocates for either party. Participants remain responsible for their decisions and may consult independent attorneys or other advisers where appropriate.

Often, yes. VirNet offers remote mediation across the United States, subject to the type of matter, jurisdictional requirements, suitability, and scheduling. We discuss any limitations during intake.
Fees depend on the type of service, mediator, preparation, number of participants, and scope of work. We can discuss rates and an appropriate estimate before scheduling substantive services.
No. Provide only a brief, general description at first. Avoid sending sensitive documents or privileged communications through the initial website form.
The website inquiry is not automatically a legally privileged mediation communication. Formal confidentiality arrangements, applicable law, and engagement terms may differ. We can explain the applicable process before sensitive information is requested.
In a VirNet mediation, the mediator is a neutral and does not represent either side as an attorney. Parties may engage independent counsel for advice or review of proposed agreements.
You don't need to have everything figured out before contacting us. Start with a concise description and we'll discuss whether mediation, facilitation, or another process may be appropriate.
