Mediation & Arbitration

Dispute resolution processes are exist to resolve disputes when the time and cost required in Court would be prohibitive. Alternatives to Dispute Resolution (ADR) may be used to resolve many types of dispute, including employment disputes.

ADR processes are often more flexible and less formal than litigation in court, providing parties with more control and greater participation over the outcome of the dispute. Usually, ADR tends to be less expensive and more efficient than the traditional legal processes.

Except for binding arbitration, if parties fail to reach a resolution through ADR, they may still pursue their case in court in most instances. Parties may use different ADR processes before, or even after, they have filed a case in court.

Although we have successfully been involved in litigation, and achieved results which have been widely acclaimed, we still recognize that for our clients, litigation can be an experience that they would prefer not to undergo. For that reason, it has been our policy that before we institute, we evaluate all means of settlement negotiations that are available to accomplish a favorable result for our clients.
