About Bill
Bill Quatman practices law through Quatman ADR, LLC, where he concentrates on resolving disputes outside the courtroom. He built his professional life around alternative dispute resolution, helping parties find workable outcomes through processes such as mediation and arbitration. His work brings together procedural knowledge and practical problem solving.
Quatman’s career has centered on serving as a neutral and an advocate in different settings. Over time he has taken roles that require managing complex calendars, preparing neutral statements, and conducting structured sessions aimed at narrowing issues and identifying settlement options. He is experienced at guiding conversations between parties who often begin far apart in their positions. He runs sessions that are orderly, efficient and aimed at producing durable agreements.
People who hire or appear before him include business representatives, counsel for private clients and organization leaders. He handles matters that range from straightforward contract disagreements to more complicated commercial tensions. His practice places weight on clear process design. He establishes procedures that help parties understand what to expect and how to present their concerns so mediations can proceed without unnecessary delay.
Quatman balances firmness about procedure with flexibility in technique. He uses caucuses and joint sessions, reality testing and interest-based inquiries when appropriate. He prioritizes ensuring each side has an opportunity to tell its story. He also pays attention to the practical constraints that usually decide whether an agreement is realistic—timing, costs and enforceability.
He has written and spoken on topics related to dispute resolution in professional settings. Colleagues describe him as someone who moves proceedings forward in a measured way and who can isolate the critical choices that end negotiations. He does not rely on a single method; he adapts the style of the session to the personalities and pressures at play.
In private practice at Quatman ADR, LLC, he manages intake, case administration and the conduct of the proceedings himself. He continues to accept new matters and to serve as a neutral for parties seeking alternatives to litigation. As of 2026 he remains active in private dispute resolution, handling mediations and arbitrations through his firm.
