Mr. Meeder is a Holland & Knight equity partner, and he is a Member of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Construction Industry Panel of Neutrals and a Member of the AAA Mega Construction Panel. He has a national mediation and arbitration practice which includes iconic construction projects, ICC arbitrations, and complex geotechnical matters. Mr. Meeder adds the human perspective of a seasoned construction attorney and neutral to his ADR matters amid emerging transformative ADR practices involving the use of AI in ADR.  A neutrals judgement should never be supplanted using AI and a neutral must always read and analyze all briefs. By engaging in mediation, he believes a party’s interests are protected and best served on multiple levels, including confidentiality, reduced costs, expedited resolution, reduced or eliminated discovery, and diminished injury to business relationships. Mediation provides disputing parties with a confidential forum in which to define best interest issues while working carefully with the Mediator and each party to determine the best method for resolution.  In the national and regional construction industries, employing a construction mediator with strong industry ties, experience and who has creative and principled negotiation skills can make the most complicated construction disputes become a rather simple procedure.  Armed with proper subject matter and construction industry knowledge, construction mediation is basically a matter of two or more sides sitting down to reach an agreement – a solution that, ideally, with leave both sides recognizing the benefits of creative negotiation and mediation.
