Diversum is a suite of diverse mediation methods offered by Cooper Mediation designed to meet the unique needs of parties in a dispute. It includes Standard Mediation, Mediation 2.0, Prediation, and Speediation.

*Standard Mediation…

*Mediation 2.0…

Caters to progressive parties, using streamlined processes, candid discussions and reduced stress to promote efficient and optimal outcomes.

*Prediation…

Serves parties seeking early resolutions, offering a front-loaded process that can bypass standard litigation and deliver efficiency and savings.

*Speediation…

Focuses on swift, cost-effective solutions for disputes with minimal issues, enabling timely resolutions without compromising quality.

Each method leverages Cooper Mediation’s expertise to deliver positive and client-centered results.

Why Did CMI Launch Diversum?

The mediators at Cooper Mediation are committed to innovation and delivering client-centered solutions in a dynamic and evolving legal landscape. By actively seeking and valuing client feedback, they recognized the need for fresh approaches to mediation—and responded with dedication and adaptability by creating Diversum.

What Are Clients Saying About Diversum?

“Mediation 2.0 has been a game-changer. I had two seriously injured plaintiffs facing significant causation challenges, up against senior defense counsel and a tough insurance representative. Despite the complexities, both claims were resolved before 12:30 PM—even though the mediation was scheduled to last all day.” – Senior Plaintiff Lawyer

“I found it initially disquieting to share my bottom-line target with Vance just after 11:00 AM. Yet, within 2-3 hours, the matter was resolved—at or very near my target—without the usual stress and posturing of positional distributive bargaining. Mediation 2.0 truly works. The proof is in the pudding.” – Senior Plaintiff Lawyer

“The plaintiff lawyer submitted a 54-page mediation memorandum, packed with content and new information. I ended up reading it twice to fully grasp it all. During the session, we followed a standard mediation approach, but the plaintiff lawyer felt compelled to paraphrase nearly every page of their extensive memo. It felt like I was sitting through an audiobook—definitely not necessary. In hindsight, I wish we had opted for Mediation 2.0. Live and learn.” – Senior Defence Lawyer

“I was initially reluctant to forego delivering a full-blown opening. As a self-admitted control freak, I felt the need to personally convey some key points to the plaintiff. However, Vance assured me that Mediation 2.0 would be effective. He promised to present my arguments to the plaintiff and their counsel in a concise, digestible format. While I don’t know exactly what Vance did in the plaintiff’s room, the matter was resolved promptly and for an amount precisely aligned with my assessments and recommendations.” – Senior Defence Lawyer

“Mediation 2.0 exceeded every expectation I had for our case. You clearly explained the process, and I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first. The case involved high emotions, a major liability issue, and substantial damages. I anticipated the mediation would extend well into the evening (until 7:00 PM or later), but by 3:00 PM, the matter was fully resolved. Even more impressively, I already had your post-mediation email confirming the terms of settlement. I don’t know how you accomplished it, but your work was truly remarkable.” – Senior Insurance Claims Professional
