Mediation & negotiation specialists serving Orange County
Facing a dispute or a high-stakes negotiation in Orange County — and want to resolve it without the cost, delay, and strain of litigation?
Raphael Lapin conducts mediations and negotiations out of Newport Beach and throughout Orange County, helping individuals, families, businesses, and organizations reach practical, durable agreements while preserving relationships wherever possible. Sessions are available in person and online.
Our approach is built on principled, interest-based mediation and negotiation: understanding the underlying interests, priorities, and values of everyone involved, then crafting resolutions that are efficient, workable, and lasting. We don’t just settle cases — we resolve disputes.
How we can help
- Mediation: a calm, structured process for resolving commercial, real estate, family, probate, workplace, and partnership disputes — addressing the emotional and practical dimensions, not just the legal ones.
- Negotiation representation & advice: an experienced agent at the table, or behind-the-scenes coaching and strategy, for negotiations that are complex, high-stakes, or beyond your experience level.
- Dispute resolution: durable, compliant, and satisfying agreements — and, wherever possible, restored relationships — reached without the cost and uncertainty of court.
