Corporations can seek out alternative dispute resolution services using mediation and arbitration as a way to resolve issues within the company without resorting to litigation. Here’s how.
Palm Springs, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/31/2015 -- In 2015, many corporations seeking legal help are forgoing the lengthy and expensive process of going to trial to opt for alternative dispute resolution (ADR). There are options in Coachella Valley that can benefit parties who need to settle disagreements while maintaining good business relationships. Often, it is important to avoid the antagonistic nature of a trial, and arbitration and mediation can preserve business ties while keeping settlement details out of public court files. Nationwide, these programs are being recommended by legislatures and courts.
Coachella Valley corporate attorneys are experts in the field of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) procedures. Their focus is on educating and helping to find a solution for both parties. Besides the solution being less costly, it usually takes less time too. At Slovak Baron Empey Murphy & Pinkney (SBEMP), a Coachella Valley corporate law firm, we encourage clients and potential clients to contact us as soon as you have a problem. This way, we can start working together toward a solution.
Arbitration. An arbitrator is an individual or a panel who listens to each side as they present their position. High-low arbitration is where you are guaranteed a preset financial award. Nonbinding arbitration hears both sides using a neutral party to work toward an eventual resolution.
Mediation. When a business would rather not go to trial, they can choose mediation, which is similar to nonbinding arbitration. In this case, the process uses an independent mediator with expert knowledge of the specifics of the case (tax, eldercare, environment). Although either party can choose to leave at any time, this offers a less expensive, less hectic process.
Businesses that face myriad issues can now rely on ADR techniques. In simulated trials, the parties and/or attorneys present their cases in a concise manner to a neutral jurist who offers his or her opinion as a model for settlement negotiations. Then the mediator meets with both parties, separately.
At SBEMP, our Coachella Valley litigation attorneys know legal litigation can disrupt day-to-day business operations. Businesses would rather avoid having to go to court, even if they win. Our groups of litigators have the combined experience and expertise to handle opposing parties for corporations and will work hard developing the plan to keep them out of the courtroom and at work.
