Alternative Dispute Resolution

Our Alternative Dispute Resolution Group is committed to providing fair, efficient, focused, and creative alternatives to traditional litigation in state and federal court.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is an umbrella term used to describe different forums in which parties agree to use a neutral, private party to assist them in resolving their disputes to avoid the expense, delay, and uncertainty of traditional litigation. Types of ADR include arbitration, mediation, mediation-arbitration, and neutral fact-finding. The attorneys in our Alternative Dispute Resolution Group use the breadth and depth of their legal experience along with their intensive training and experience acting as neutrals in arbitration proceedings and mediation conferences to provide parties with tailored, innovative, collaborative options for resolving their disputes.
