Aleksas approaches every mediation by:
• Identifying the legal and business issues driving the dispute.
• Evaluating litigation risk from both sides.
• Encouraging practical, interest-based negotiation.
• Helping parties move beyond positions toward workable solutions.
• Focusing on efficient, cost-effective resolutions whenever possible.

His litigation experience enables him to recognize strengths, weaknesses, and settlement opportunities that may not be immediately apparent to the parties.
