Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

We counsel our clients to determine which dispute resolution method best addresses their needs and how to pursue the chosen course of action. Determining the appropriate strategy is frequently the most important aspect of our counsel.

Arbitration

A third party is brought in to hear the facts of the case, review documents, briefs and exhibits, listen to lay and expert witnesses, and render a settlement between the parties. This is similar to a hearing in court before a judge.

Mediation

The use of an agreed-upon mediator can be a cost-effective way to negotiate a settlement between the parties. A mediator evaluates the issues in a case, its merits and defenses, and works with the parties to agree upon a solution to the dispute.
