Alternative Dispute Resolution

Our firm is an active supporter of alternative dispute resolution, as we know these procedures are highly effective and often result in a substantial reduction in the costs usually associated with court litigation.

The mediation option provides an informal setting in which the parties can discuss the issues, guided by a mediator who is an expert in the relevant area of law.

Arbitration, conducted much the same as a trial, is more formal but far more cost-effective and swift. The parties are able to choose the arbitrator, enhancing the likelihood of a beneficial outcome.
