Why TichauerADR?

Familiarity with the complex business and technical issues at the heart of a dispute, in addition to relevant legal factors, can significantly increase the likelihood of reaching a fair, well-reasoned and enforceable decision.

Knows Commerce

Paul Tichauer understands how business leaders think and strive to gain an edge, as well as the steps they take to survive and flourish. This is often evidenced in a subtle dialog between customer and supplier during the sales process as well as following commissioning of the equipment or plant.

Decades of Experience

“My education at McGill, Oxford and MIT, buttressed by over 40 years of relevant industrial and commercial experience, uniquely position me to address complex commercial and technical issues in order to produce well-reasoned decisions in a timely manner.”

Paul has had to resolve commercial issues during his entire career. He is sensitive to the nuances that accompany the dispute resolution process, including ensuring the outcome considers all aspects of the issue – not just legal or financial ones. Paul seeks to establish intent and understand what the parties’ commercial actions signify.

Skilled Dealmaker

“As a businessman I ask different questions than those asked by lawyers.”

Knowing when to be flexible and when to require strict contract compliance is essential to being an effective CEO. Paul recognizes that commercial agreements entail more than just ‘price’ and often include elements which may be of equal, if not greater, importance. Having been in the game personally, Paul has acquired a clear sense for what differentiates ‘reasonable’ from ‘unreasonable’ actions and response.

“As a CEO, my commercial activities were often centered on the intersection of technology and business. As an ADR professional, I now take into consideration the three-way interplay of technology, business and law.”

Effective Communicator

With years as a CEO, Paul deals with issues clearly and decisively, and manages the dispute resolution process in a professional and credible manner. He is accustomed to bringing diverse people together and managing complex disagreements to successful and sustainable conclusions – on time and on budget!
