An expert in negotiation and bringing parties to agreement, Michael Albert Quinn Kaiser understands the many advantages of mediation – particularly as a cost and time-saving alternative to the traditional litigation process.

Some of the more notable benefits of the mediation process include:
  • Faster resolution:
While litigation can sometimes take months or even years to conclude, mediation often offers the opportunity to find agreement in just weeks if not days – even in regards to highly-contentious issues.
  • Cost-efficiency:
Because the process of mediation is significantly faster than litigation, the cost tends to be much lower.
  • Flexibility:
Mediations offer a level of candor and directness often not afforded in a courtroom setting, making it easier to express concerns and raise questions that get to the heart of important matters quickly.

Michael Quinn Kaiser: Dispute Resolution


During his time at Kaiser Permanente, Michael Quinn oversaw more than 1,000 arbitrations, lawsuits and mediations as an outstanding senior member of the organization's risk management team. Michael Quinn Kaiser understands the importance of resolving disputes in a manner that saves companies' time and money.

Dispute resolution is essential for providing alternatives that help conflicting parties arrive at an agreeable resolution. The use of various dispute resolution processes such as arbitration and mediation are unquestionably much cheaper and faster than following the conventional legal process. These processes allow the parties to be more involved in the process while also giving them more control over the outcome.

In many instances, all that's needed from conflicting parties is their willingness to participate and their actual presence. Where a court or judge has mandated the use of dispute resolution, an attorney is part of the process. Their role depends on the nature of the dispute and the type of process being used to reach a solution.

Michael Quinn Kaiser: Working Independently


Since leaving Kaiser Permanente in 2014, Michael Quinn has used his expert knowledge of risk management to establish a consulting business. Like many consultants, Michael Quinn Kaiser appreciates the opportunity to work independently for the numerous benefits it offers.

 Flexibility. Since a consultant's role is to meet with clients, they often have flexibility in choosing their working hours depending on their appointments.

Different problems. Ask many consultants, and they'll tell you that every new day brings its set of challenges and issues to resolve. The role is not a typical 8 to 5 job, and so the new problems continually challenge consultants to change their schedules and adapt.

Michael Quinn Kaiser

Continuous learning. Consultants are hired for their expertise, which requires them to keep learning and adapting to industry trends. The good thing about continually staying on your toes is that clients appreciate the fresh perspectives and ideas you bring to the table.

Michael Quinn has specialized in taking client's risk management departments to the Next Level.
