6 VerticalsAbout & Mediation Philosophy
Neutral ProfileBarry Kohler Consulting mainly focuses on Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution. With more than 35 years’ experience as an attorney and as a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) practitioner, Barry has experience helping clients, families, parties in conflict (business or otherwise), and groups reach fair and workable resolutions over a wide variety of issues. Presently, he mediates cases privately statewide via Zoom and serves on several rosters of the Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Service (CADRES). Also, he is certified as a mediator and arbitrator panel member for FINRA Dispute Resolution arbitrations, involving securities issues. Although “mediation” technically refers to only one specific form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), it is commonly used (in Maine, at least) to refer to all types of ADR. His law practice convinced him of the benefits of mediation over litigation. With his background as a Certified Financial Planner, he is particularly interested in mediations that involve the intersection of families and finances, such as: Divorce, Family matters, Unmarried partners, and Family businesses.
