Contact Maren Calvert

Maren is a problem solver. She has a passion for real estate and getting clients of all kinds “unstuck.” Maren’s experience in public policy, government relations, commercial litigation, and administrative law combines uniquely to help clients think creatively and strategically so they can move to the next level. As a mediator, Maren's background allows her to transition smoothly from evaluating legal questions to creative, collaborative discussions, about how to create enduring solutions.

She has written and published government regulations and written compliance programs for both public and private organizations. Maren negotiated the first-ever Medicaid compliance agreement in Hawai`i, saving the practice of a family doctor in a medically-underserved area.
