How We Work
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Kick-off: Initial call within the first week to scope the work and set a schedule.
Visibility: Weekly status updates so the court knows where things stand.
Decisions: Issues get addressed as they arise—no bottlenecks.
01Early Neutral Evaluation
Assessment: Candid review of the strengths and weaknesses both sides face.
Clarity: Written evaluation with a realistic settlement range—before discovery costs pile up.
Utility: A tool for resetting expectations, not just a second opinion.
02Enterprise Data & Process Mapping
Current State Assessment: By evaluating your intended workflows against the software and systems your team actually uses, we identify immediate structural gaps and define the true scope of your operational bottlenecks.
Uncovering Operational Realities: We engage directly with your team—from front-line end-users to executive leadership—to uncover the informal workarounds, cultural friction, and software limitations that truly dictate how data and tasks move through your organization.
Synthesis & Strategic Delivery: We translate complex, messy operations into clear, executive-ready deliverables.
03Strategic Resolution Design
Conflict Audit & Vulnerability Assessment: By engaging with key stakeholders, we identify where friction consistently originates and exactly where your current resolution pathways break down.
Custom Pathway Design: We engineer a tailored resolution architecture for your organization that establishes clear escalation tiers, early intervention protocols, and internal mediation frameworks.
Implementation & Leadership Training: We provide strategic rollout support and train your HR, legal, and executive leadership teams to effectively manage the new frameworks and resolve disputes at the lowest possible level.
04We’ve seen how cases get stuck.
We help them move.
Our Practice Areas
Alternative Dispute Resolution
We work with the court and the parties to address procedural or discovery issues, facilitate effective discussions between counsel, and help move cases toward resolution.
Our goal is to provide practical, neutral guidance that helps resolve disputes without unnecessary motion practice or delay.
Early Neutral Evaluation
When parties are deeply committed to their positions, it can be difficult to assess how a case may actually be resolved.
We provide candid, independent feedback that helps parties evaluate risk, refine strategy, and consider opportunities for early resolution.
Enterprise Data & Process Mapping
PRG conducts comprehensive business process mapping for highly regulated entities, including state judiciaries, financial institutions, and global corporations.
By utilizing structured stakeholder interviews and quantitative surveys, we translate localized, informal practices into standardized, executive-ready frameworks that drive enterprise data governance and reporting consistency.
Strategic Resolution Design
PRG helps corporations, law firms, and institutions design customized internal dispute resolution systems.
By blending advanced conflict resolution theory with operational process design, we build structured, scalable pathways to manage employee, vendor, and B2B conflicts before they escalate to formal litigation.

Lelia Parker
Principal
I spent nine years litigating mass torts, bankruptcy disputes, insurance coverage, and commercial matters where, without intervention, discovery alone could drag on for years. I’ve handled complex commercial, eDiscovery, and AI discovery matters at the Am Law level—representing both plaintiffs and defendants.
Along the way, I worked on court-appointed neutral teams in matters before the Delaware Court of Chancery—addressing privilege disputes, proportionality questions, and the day-to-day friction that often bogs down complex cases.
Doing that work made me realize that the root cause of these massive bottlenecks is rarely just legal; it is operational. It is about how data is managed, how workflows are structured, and how organizations handle predictable friction. Today, in addition to my active dispute resolution practice, I lead enterprise data mapping engagements and design customized internal resolution frameworks for organizations—helping them untangle localized workflows and build scalable pathways to manage conflict before it escalates to litigation.
Whether I am serving as a neutral to resolve a multi-million-dollar discovery dispute, mapping decentralized case management workflows, or engineering a strategic resolution system, the objective is exactly the same: keep things moving, make practical calls, and deliver structural clarity instead of getting stuck in procedural trench warfare.
