TEXAS MEDIATIONS & CONFLICT RESOLUTION
We handle complex, multi-party mediations for parties involved in litigation, as well as pre-suit conflict resolution. Deborah Hankinson’s approach is premised on fully understanding the parties’ needs and goals as a touchstone for working creatively towards mutually beneficial solutions. She excels at untangling difficult, multifaceted issues and providing parties with evaluative insights and options that break deadlocks and move them forward. Even when the initial session does not lead to a full settlement or resolution, Deborah makes it a practice to proactively follow up with the parties over time to offer additional ideas and to help ensure that all avenues are fully explored. Deborah conducts Texas mediations in Dallas at the offices of Hankinson LLP and also travels throughout the state as circumstances require. She has mediated pre- and post-filing conflicts relating to diverse industries, businesses, and circumstances.
