Resolve your case at the right time for the right price. At the click of a button.

Most lawsuits settle. But not before parties waste time and money bogged down in litigation.

Backchannel changes that.

With our secret offer and demand matching system, you can get right to the real numbers, without revealing your settlement position unless a deal is made.

GET STARTED

Backchannel is the case resolution tool you’ve always wanted.

Effective

Backchannel allows you and your counterpart to confidentially and securely submit settlement offers or demands. The other side only learns your number if it matches or overlaps with theirs. This system lets you be realistic in your case appraisal without fear of having it used against you.

Efficient

The litigation process is expensive. It is also time-consuming and emotionally taxing. You can eliminate those unnecessary resource drains, saving your (or your client’s) time and money. With Backchannel, you can resolve disputes before they even get off the ground and get back to doing business.

Secure

Our system allows you to keep your real position secret unless there is a deal to be had. If there isn’t a deal to make, your leverage and position are protected. Backchannel is protected by bank-level security.

COMPROMISE IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.

Parties’ real numbers are usually closer than they think. For example, one side might know of a key weakness in its case that is unknown to the other side for now. Or, a side might have an unrelated business consideration that weighs in favor of settlement. Backchannel lets you liaise with your opponent on what matters—the number it will take to settle—without divulging these sensitive confidences.

How It Works

Secure, Confidential Dealmaking

At its core, Backchannel uses a secure system to allow parties to input confidential offers and demands. The beauty of Backchannel is that no one—not the other side, not a mediator, and not the court—knows your offer or demand unless it matches with the other side’s. This means that you get a risk-free chance to resolve a dispute.

Guided ADR Process

Backchannel uses a three-step, guided process to give you the best chance to reach a deal. Step 1 focuses on non-monetary deal terms. Step 2 starts the Backchanneling process with a risk-free, and confidential offer or demand. Step 3 continues the process but with an incentive for the first party to reach the dealmaking number.

Stop posturing, start Backchanneling.

With Backchannel, you can avoid all the bluster, the wasted time, the nonsense offers and demands designed to “send a message,” and the expense from a day of mediation. Instead, you can confidently and securely see if a deal can be reached with no risk to your settlement position. You can do this on your own time and from anywhere—your office, your home, or the beach.
