Why Mediation Is the Smarter Path Forward in Business Litigation
Welcome. If you are facing complex business litigation, finding a clear path to resolution is paramount. As a mediator with over 25 years of experience as a trial lawyer representing large companies in high-stakes commercial disputes, including antitrust cases and class actions, I offer a unique perspective and a proven approach to help parties navigate their differences and reach effective, lasting agreements. My commitment is to provide a professional, efficient, and thoroughly prepared mediation process focused on achieving results.
Litigation can drag on for years and create significant financial strain. Mediation offers a streamlined process for disputing parties to maintain control, reduce costs, and reach a resolution quickly – all while keeping discussions private and focused on practical outcomes.
The Difference of Prepared and Purposeful Mediation
Interactive and Direct Style
I engage directly with clients to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of their case, facilitating a clear and realistic understanding of their options. My goal is to help parties make informed decisions that serve their best interests in the long run.

Drawing on Decades of Trial Experience
My 25+ years as a trial lawyer in complex business disputes provide a unique lens through which to evaluate cases. I can offer insightful perspectives on potential trial outcomes and help clients understand the real-world implications of their decisions.
The Difference of Prepared and Purposeful Mediation
Extensive Pre-Mediation Preparation
I invest significant time upfront, meeting separately with counsel for each side to review key documents, understand their legal strategies, and identify critical issues. This proactive engagement ensures that we can move directly into productive negotiations on the day of the mediation, without wasting valuable time on background education.
Preparation is My Calling Card
In today's challenging legal landscape, protracted litigation can lead to significant financial burdens, operational disruptions, and uncertain outcomes. Choosing the right mediator is a critical decision. My extensive background in the courtroom, combined with my ongoing work as a partner at Brown Fox PLLC, provides me with a deep understanding of the complexities and risks involved in taking a case to trial. This insight allows me to assess each party’s position realistically, so negotiations stay grounded and productive. My mediation services offer a pathway to faster resolution, reduced litigation costs, and greater control over the final outcome.

Brian has quickly become one of the top mediators in Dallas for commercial litigation and a resource that our legal community sorely needed. I will continue to use his services when I need a quick study on complex cases, where damages are potentially large, and where persistence, patience, attention to detail, and follow-up are paramount.

I highly recommend Brian Robison to mediate your next case. Brian actively contributes to the success of his mediations because of the time and effort he puts in to prepare himself. Brian has preliminary calls and reviews key documents with each attorney to prepare for the mediation. This allows negotiations to start on arrival rather than spending mediation time explaining the facts of the case. Brian has also shown me his commitment to find a resolution for the parties. After going into the evening on a Friday mediation, the parties were close to a settlement, but each refused to budge in the moment. Brian stuck with the parties over the weekend to keep the momentum going. We reached a resolution early the next week. That settlement was a direct result of Brian’s extra effort and it’s a reason why he’s on my short list of preferred mediators.

Brian is one of my “go-to” mediators when the opportunity presents itself. I first worked with Brian a few years ago on a matter and he was well prepared; thoroughly invested in trying to find a resolution for all parties; and brought creative and novel approaches to the mediation process. I welcome the opportunity to work with him again for any complex commercial litigation matter!
