F.A.I.R. Solutions

What F.A.I.R. Solutions does

F.A.I.R. Solutions is a Minnesota-based, single-practitioner professional services firm founded in 2000 that delivers mediation, conflict resolution, and related consulting services. The firm is led by Molly K. Olson, who operates as a Minnesota Supreme Court Rule 114 Qualified Neutral and offers over 20 years of specialized experience in family law, divorce, custody, parenting time, elder care, and organizational conflict mediation. Service lines include mediation (divorce, family, elder care, organizational), case consulting for individuals navigating family court processes, parenting coaching, expert witness testimony grounded in Minnesota family law and the 2019 Child Focused Parenting Guide, and corporate/leadership training in communication and conflict resolution.

The core methodology is a needs-based solution facilitation approach in which the mediator, rather than imposing outcomes, enables disputing parties to construct their own mutually agreeable solutions — distinguishing the practice from attorney-led negotiation or court-imposed adjudication. The firm markets through a content-driven top-of-funnel strategy built around the company website, YouTube educational videos, downloadable brochures, and Facebook/LinkedIn presence. A free 45-minute mediation orientation lowers the initial commitment threshold for prospective clients.

F.A.I.R. Solutions operates on a professional services revenue model with a sliding fee scale, generating revenue across multiple service lines (mediation, case consulting, coaching, expert witness, and speaking/training engagements). Distribution is regional and primarily in-person, with offices in Little Canada and Woodbury, MN, plus options for neutral-location or onsite meetings across Minnesota. No software product, platform, or technology revenue component exists; the entire business is dependent on the principal's billable capacity.

Emerging players

• Hello Divorce: Online platform that pairs clients with mediators and attorneys for divorce matters, including uncontested divorce filings. Comparable to F.A.I.R. Solutions because it directly serves the same divorce mediation use case, but is a digital-first emerging player rather than a Minnesota-based solo practice.
• NextChapter: Online divorce filing and document platform that supports mediated and uncontested divorce workflows. Comparable because it competes for the same self-directed divorce and mediation use case as F.A.I.R. Solutions' family practice, with a different technology-led delivery model.

Direct peers

• Mediate.com: Online mediation directory, education, and marketplace platform serving individual mediators and disputing parties. Comparable because it operates in the same family and divorce mediation category, with overlapping client profile (couples, separated parents) and similar professional-services positioning around non-court dispute resolution.

Regional players

• FamilyMeans: Minnesota-based nonprofit providing family and aging-services programs including counseling, elder care, and family support. Comparable because it operates in the same Twin Cities market serving families in conflict and navigating elder care transitions, though delivered via a nonprofit model rather than fee-for-service mediation.

Broad incumbents

• JAMS: National provider of alternative dispute resolution services including mediation, arbitration, and expert services across many practice areas. Comparable because JAMS offers mediation in family and commercial matters including elder care, but operates at vastly larger scale and as a broad incumbent rather than a single-state solo practice.
• American Arbitration Association: Long-established national ADR organization administering mediation and arbitration across commercial, employment, and other disputes. Comparable because it competes in the same alternative dispute resolution category and includes family and organizational matters in its roster, albeit as a diversified institutional incumbent.
• National Arbitration and Mediation (NAM): National ADR firm offering mediators across practice areas. Comparable to F.A.I.R. Solutions because it competes in the mediation market with a similar panel-of-mediators model, but operates as a national incumbent rather than a regional solo practitioner focused on family and elder matters.
