MEDIATION SERVICES

​
ADR Experience and Background
​
We are accomplished trial attorneys, and have been formally ADR-trained and often serve as mediators. From minor two-party conflicts to multimillion-dollar corporate matters, we use arbitration and mediation to resolve disputes in all civil areas.
​
We counsel clients on how to incorporate ADR into their everyday business practices. We work with clients to prepare contract provisions, organizational procedures, and guidelines on using mediation to settle commercial disputes and internal matters.

Mediation Proceedings
​
Mediation may take many different forms, and mediators often follow their own unique paths to understand a dispute and effectuate a settlement between the parties. We represent our clients in a wide range of mediation proceedings. Often, a favorable settlement can be reached without having to go through trial.
