The Wagoner Firm has years of experience in this field and our team is well equipped to provide you with the dispute resolution assistance necessary to help you understand and navigate the nuances of this specialized process to resolve conflicts.
ADR is a form of dispute resolution that does not involve litigating the matter in the court system and can serve as an alternative to litigation. Alternative Dispute Resolution Claims can arise in traditional litigation, commercial litigation, construction litigation, and real estate matters. There are several ADR mechanisms including mediation and arbitration.
In mediation, the parties to a dispute come together with a mediator, or facilitator to resolve their differences. Mediation can be conducted at any point in a dispute and even during a court proceeding. All that is required is for the parties to agree to proceed to mediation, and the process can proceed. This is a very cost-effective way to resolve a dispute and a good mediator can bring even the most polarized parties together for an amicable resolution.
Another method of ADR is arbitration. Most of the time arbitration is pursuant to a written agreement or contract between the parties. However, parties can, after a dispute arises, agree to arbitration as a method of resolution. Under these circumstances a single arbitrator, or in some cases a panel of three arbitrators, undertakes a hearing where all parties are permitted to present their positions and relevant evidence. This is a more cost-effective method of resolving a dispute rather than litigation since discovery in arbitration is often limited in scope and the hearings conducted before the Arbitrator(s) are somewhat less formal than a court proceeding. An additional benefit to arbitration is that the arbitrator(s) are usually seasoned attorneys with significant experience in law in which the dispute arises, i.e., construction, contract, or employment law.
