Corporate Membership

From large multinational organizations to hi-growth startups, FICM helps companies in preventing and resolving disputes by creating, administering, managing and monitoring customized dispute prevention and resolution mechanisms. FICM supports organizations in preventing and managing conflict. Corporate memberships demonstrate your commitment to a culture of healthy conflict resolution.

Corporate membership is open to corporations, law firms, educational institutions, businesses, government departments, and not-for-profit organizations building a strong and healthy environment through effective communication and dispute resolution. The benefits of a pro-active ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) culture include improving employee and/or client retention, saving time and money when resolving internal and external disputes, and building staff competencies in communication and conflict management.

Through membership, companies shape rules and policies, find out creative interventions and build resources to effectively prevent, manage and resolve disputes and reduce uncertainties of doing business.

FICM is the resource of business organizations for practical tools, consultation and ongoing support to implement and maintain highly effective end-to-end dispute prevention and resolution programs.

The membership ensures that the latest, innovative dispute prevention and resolution approaches and processes are embedded in each members business.
