Mediation and Arbitration
"Alternative dispute resolution is generally cheaper and faster than litigation."
We represent clients in arbitration, mediation and other forums for alternative dispute resolution ("ADR"). Our services include counseling customers, suppliers, employees or others about when to seek alternative dispute resolution or to pursue traditional litigation.
During arbitration, the neutral (arbitrator) hears both sides of a dispute during an informal hearing before determining who wins and who loses. An arbitrator is not a judge, but the decision of an arbitrator or panel of arbitrators is binding on the parties. ADR is not intended to replace the court system. Instead it offers an alternative through which businesses and individuals can resolve conflicts.
