About Jonathan Conant

I am a driven professional, taking the lead when opportunity presents itself. I am goal oriented, open to sharing ideas and developing strategies for the optimization of all interests involved. My professional goal is always to assist parties in achieving the best outcome available for the most concerns involved. Above all, ethics and dare I say morality must be taken into account.When representing clients, I understand that there are two prongs to representation. Firstly, is addressing the client\'s legal concerns:\"Have I met the legal requirements necessary?\"; Do I have a case?\";\"Do I have anything to worry about?\"; Do I have any liability?\" But representation does not end there. In fact, more importantly the client needs to be \"counseled\" as to what is actually in the best interest of the client, considering the financial cost, time and emotional cost of litigation.Above all, the Best Interests of the child or children involved must be the determinant factor in my representation. I will not take on a case where in my independent evaluation that Best Interest is not being served by the action or course of litigation desired. I will often counsel my clients, discussing all aspects of the chosen course of action and include the \"child\'s view\" in doing so, to reach a consensus and considered approach.When mediating, I use many different tools and techniques as not every mediation will follow the same track as a another. A good mediator must not only follow the changes which occur in the process but assist the parties in finding a unified direction towards settlement. I guess that you could define me as a \"transformative\" mediator, in that my techniques will change and adapt to fit the needs of the parties. I draw on a lifetime of experiences and education to find commonality with the concerns and needs of the parties to enable me to empower them with the ability to collectively decide the how the situation should be resolved.ADR experience (in Alphabetical order): Complex Negotiation, Construction Claims, Cross-Cultural Negotiations, Family Mediations, Injury Claims, Malpractice Claims.Client Representation: Adoptions, Foster Representation, Dependencies, High-Conflict Mediation- LGBTQ+ Friendly.
