Mediation/Arbitration Attorney

Mediation and arbitration are used in many business disputes. They are both forms of Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) in which two opposing parties retain a neutral party to help settle a dispute outside of the courts.  ADR can take place either before or after a legal action is initiated, and is often the best and most efficient means to settle a dispute quickly, less expensively than in court, and beyond the scrutiny of the media.

We advocate for clients in all levels of the state and federal courts but only after we have exhausted all alternatives, including ADR.

The difference between mediation and arbitration is that mediation is a collaborative negotiation facilitated by a neutral party and arbitration is a fact-finding process whereby one or three arbitrators render a decision which typically is binding. ADR is often the preferred dispute resolution method because it:

• allows for solutions that might be unavailable through the courts;
• is more cost-effective than litigation;
• produces more timely results;
• provides results that are less public than court resolutions;
• with mediation, allows greater party input into the resolution of the matter.
