After more than 25 years as a successful litigator, 13 of which included service as a private mediator and arbitrator, Paul Haire made the decision to transition into full-time private dispute resolution at Advanced Resolution Management. In his legal career, Paul has specialized in civil litigation involving general liability, business/commercial cases, banking, personal injury, products liability, premises liability, construction, and contractual matters. As such, he has litigated, arbitrated, mediated, and tried a wide variety of cases.

Paul has developed a reputation in the legal community for being both fair and reasonable. In fact, he has been extremely successful in gaining the trust, confidence and respect of those who have worked with him and against him. As a result, his peers called upon him regularly to serve as a private mediator and arbitrator on their cases. That was over 13 years ago. Wanting to be at the top in his field, Paul has sought out the best ADR training programs in the country. He has received certification from the nationally acclaimed Straus Institute of Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine Law School, as well as the Saltman Center at UNLV’s Boyd Law School, and the Edwards Mediation Academy in San Francisco. This advanced training has provided Paul with the insight and tools necessary to handle some of the most contentious and complex civil disputes. Paul has also served as an adjunct professor teaching MBA courses in negotiation, business law and decision-making.

Paul’s knowledge of the insurance industry has often been key in bringing parties together and finding common ground. As a litigator, he represented both plaintiffs and defendants, and now as a neutral, Paul draws from that experience. He brings a unique perspective to every case, often proposing creative and innovative ways to settle; options that even the parties themselves had not previously considered. As an arbitrator, Paul has strong evaluation skills, is fair and impartial and works hard to render fair and well-reasoned opinions. He also manages the process, effectively moving the case along to avoid unreasonable cost and delay. As a mediator, Paul may be best known for his thorough preparation and understanding of negotiation dynamics. Through the use of pre-mediation phone calls and review of briefs, expert reports, pleadings and discovery, Paul arms himself with as much knowledge and understanding of the issues as possible so the parties get the most out of every session. He strives to reach resolution on every case that comes before him and will follow up with the parties for as long as it may take to reach a settlement.
