ADR Notable, LLC

What ADR Notable, LLC does

ADR Notable, LLC is a privately held SaaS company founded in 2020 and headquartered at 875 N. High Street, Suite 300, Columbus, Ohio. The company builds cloud-based practice and case management software purpose-built for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) professionals — independent mediators, arbitrators, and ombuds; ADR firms and administrators; court-connected programs; workplace conflict and ombuds offices; ADR training organizations; and certified Independent Dispute Resolution Entities (IDREs) handling healthcare billing disputes under the federal No Surprises Act. The platform unifies case intake, the patented Digital Noteboard, scheduling (via a CalendarHero integration), flexible billing (with Stripe payment processing and QuickBooks Online sync), document library and document builder, CRM, electronic signatures (SignNow), and AI features (ADR Coach and AI Case Summaries) into a single connected workflow. The product is hosted on Microsoft Azure and ships with SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA-aligned security and compliance posture.

ADR Notable monetizes through subscription licenses (annual, monthly, multi-year enterprise, and Training Partner) plus case-by-case licensing (often passed through to parties as a case expense), all priced by expected case volume rather than per-seat and including unlimited seats. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; a self-serve 14-day free trial is offered on the website. Distribution combines product-led growth for solos and small firms, a sales-assisted enterprise motion for firms with 5+ neutrals and court/government programs, an Affiliate Partner Program for ADR associations and consultants, and a Training Partner Program that embeds complimentary subscriptions into mediator training cohorts. Founder and CEO Gary Doernhoefer (formerly General Counsel at IATA and VP & GC at Journera) leads a small Columbus-based team including COO Matt Zenko, CSTO Mike Schuman, VP Sales Elaine Michelich, and Director of Customer Success Sydney Riddle. The company is investor-backed (U.S. investors) with no public funding rounds disclosed and serves customers across the United States and Canada.

Broad incumbents

• MyCase: Legal practice management suite for solo and small law firms offering case management, time tracking, billing, and client communication. Comparable as a horizontal alternative ADR professionals may consider, though lacking ADR-specific mediation workflows.
• Filevine: Legal case management platform with strong document handling, AI features, and customizable workflows used by mid-sized firms and legal departments. Comparable for its case-centric workflow and AI investments that may overlap with ADR Coach-style capabilities.
• CARET Legal: Legal practice management platform with case management, time tracking, billing, and document automation for small to mid-sized law firms. Comparable as a horizontal incumbent whose workflows may substitute for ADR Notable in solo mediator practices.
• Clio: Leading cloud-based legal practice management platform serving hundreds of thousands of attorneys worldwide with case management, billing, scheduling, and client intake. Overlaps with ADR Notable on scheduling, billing, and intake but is not purpose-built for mediation/arbitration workflows.
• PracticePanther: Cloud-based legal practice management platform for small to mid-sized law firms with case management, billing, and automation features. Horizontal competitor that mediators and small ADR firms may evaluate alongside ADR Notable.
• Tyler Technologies (Modria / Court Case Management): Large public-sector technology vendor providing court and case management software for state and local governments, including online dispute resolution capabilities. Comparable as a competitor in the court-connected ADR program segment where ADR Notable serves Houston DRC and ADR Saskatchewan.
• Smokeball: Legal practice management and automated document drafting platform for small law firms. Comparable as a productivity-focused incumbent that touches billing, document automation, and case workflows competing for the same independent practitioner budgets.

Emerging players

• Smartsettle: Online dispute resolution platform specializing in blind-bidding negotiation and automated settlement for commercial and family disputes. Comparable as a vertically focused ODR tool that competes for the same mediator and arbitration channel.
• eQuibbly: Online dispute resolution platform offering mediation and arbitration case management with virtual hearing capabilities. Comparable as an emerging direct competitor in the ODR and ADR professional tooling market.

Direct peers

• Immediation: Australian-headquartered online dispute resolution and ADR platform offering virtual mediation rooms, case management, and document tools. Most directly comparable peer to ADR Notable; Mike Schuman (ADR Notable's CSTO) was previously CSTO at Immediation.
