ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
We recognize that contemporary disputes and problems often demand multi-disciplined strategies or creative legal measures. Litigation alone may not be sufficient to achieve all of a client’s goals, or litigation alone may unnecessarily prolong a dispute. A creative and effective litigation strategy is essential to a winning solution. Our attorneys pursue a relentless results-driven strategy designed to maximize your return, constantly helping clients assess and balance the costs, risks, and benefits of litigation versus settlement or other alternative dispute resolution options.
We have extensive experience in the representation of clients in all facets of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation, arbitration, med-arb hybrid hearings, early neutral evaluation, mini trials, fact finding, settlement conferences, partnering, private judging, summary jury trials and supervised settlements.
A FEW RECENT EXAMPLES
- Participation in early neutral evaluation that resulted in the opposing party re-evaluating its position and ultimately agreeing to a “nuisance value” settlement that allowed our client to avoid the risk and expense of litigation.
- Representation of client in a “Mini Trial” in which both parties presented an abridged argument and summarized evidence to a panel who then successfully negotiated a non-binding “advisory” settlement that both parties agreed to accept.
- Recommendation and retention of a “Private Judge” to preside over a time sensitive dispute that could not get scheduled for trial on the state court docket before both parties would have suffered the loss of a valuable shipping contract.
- Representation of client in a multi-day mediation involving six different insurance carriers in which the mediator assisted in strategically exhausting all primary policies in order to trigger coverage by an excess carrier that had refused to participate in settlement.
