Our Team of Experts

High-conflict doesn’t care about industries or job titles—that’s why our team spans law, courts, mediation, neuroscience, business, psychology, and social work. Co-founders Bill Eddy and Megan Hunter built HCI with one goal: give professionals the expertise to handle the toughest people and the highest-risk situations, anywhere they show up.

Clients, customers, coworkers, bosses, partners, family—you name it, we’ve seen the conflict, and we know how to shrink it. We reduce risk, bring clarity, and help people create solutions that actually last. With HCI in your corner, conflict stops being overwhelming and starts becoming something you can confidently manage—and create lasting change.
