It can involve everything from a simple negotiation and settlement between the parties and their lawyers, to using mediation or arbitration processes. The various types and forms of alternative dispute resolutions can include:

  • Arbitration (Binding and Non-binding)
  • Mediation
  • Summary jury trials
  • Mini trials
  • Moderated settlement conferences

Generally, ADR processes tend to be far less time consuming and less costly than using the traditional litigation system.

Individuals and businesses of all kinds who find themselves in any from of legal dispute should contact a competent business litigation attorney as soon as possible. The longer an issue is left to languish, the faster it can become an even larger problem. The same as any other issue, it is best to deal with it expediently, before it becomes more complex.
