Alternative dispute resolution
Barnwell Whaley alternative dispute resolution (ADR) attorneys work to reach an agreement between the parties to a lawsuit efficiently and cost effectively.
As cases back up for years in court and the costs associated with litigation rise, more courts are requiring ADR before a lawsuit is allowed to go to trial, and many contracts specify binding arbitration as the only means to settle a dispute between the parties to the contract.
Arbitrators are attorneys that are familiar with the law applicable to a specific dispute, and who can provide a neutral, balanced view to all parties in a lawsuit, often tempering unrealistic expectations and allowing disputes to be settled without an expensive trial.
Our mediation and arbitration team has attorneys certified both as arbitrators and mediators: providing skilled, experienced, objective counsel to reach a resolution amenable to both parties.
