The firm strives to use traditional and non-traditional methods of dispute resolution to assist its clients in resolving disputed matters promptly and efficiently. Many of the firm’s attorneys have substantial alternative dispute resolution training and regularly serve as mediators and arbitrators in virtually every area of law. These attorneys are available for service as third-party neutrals in all types of alternative dispute resolution. In addition, the firm represents clients who are themselves involved as parties in mediations and arbitrations.
The Alternative Dispute Resolution practice group within the firm has a particular focus on the area of pre-litigation dispute resolution. In short, the firm’s attorneys are engaged to serve as mediators in disputes where a lawsuit has not yet been filed and, in some cases, where a lawsuit is not likely to be filed at all. The firm has found that many clients appreciate the opportunity to engage in a confidential mediation process as a way to resolve difficult disputes and avoid costly litigation.
Several of the firm’s attorneys conduct mediations and arbitrations utilizing the Rules of Procedure for Christian Conciliation of The Institute for Christian Conciliation. Christian conciliation, while similar in many respect to traditional alternative dispute resolution approaches, differs in its focus on bringing about both substantive resolution and personal reconciliation.
Firm facilities are designed to accommodate mediations and arbitrations, with a large number of conference rooms and mediation caucus rooms.
