Recognizing the value of resolving disputes outside the courtroom, our ADR services include mediation, arbitration, and negotiation. We help clients reach amicable solutions that save time and resources, especially in commercial and family disputes. Our team is skilled at facilitating resolutions that satisfy all parties involved.
Our Process
At our firm, we understand that not all disputes need to be resolved in court. Through our Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services—including mediation, arbitration, and negotiation—we help clients resolve conflicts efficiently, cost-effectively, and amicably. Our approach focuses on preserving relationships and delivering mutually beneficial outcomes, particularly in commercial and family matters.
Planning The Case
We begin by meeting with the client to understand the nature of the dispute, the parties involved, and the desired outcome. During this planning stage, we assess whether the issue is best suited for mediation, arbitration, or negotiation. We also identify any legal or contractual obligations that may dictate the ADR process and prepare a strategy focused on achieving resolution while protecting the client’s interests.
Evaluate Situation
Next, we conduct a detailed evaluation of the facts, legal positions, and motivations of all parties involved. This includes reviewing contracts, correspondence, and any prior attempts at resolution. We analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the case to determine potential outcomes and identify areas where compromise may be possible. This evaluation is essential for guiding effective negotiations or structuring a successful mediation or arbitration session.
Filing the Case or Initiating ADR Proceedings:
In ADR, formal court filings are often unnecessary. However, we initiate the process by formally notifying the other party and, where applicable, filing with an arbitration body or appointing a neutral mediator. We handle all procedural requirements, such as drafting the terms of reference, selecting neutral facilitators, and scheduling hearings or meetings. Our goal is to ensure a structured and professional environment for dispute resolution.
Gathering More Information (Preparation & Engagement):
Throughout the process, we gather additional information that may support a favorable resolution. This may include financial records, expert opinions, witness statements, or relevant case law. We prepare the client for ADR sessions, help frame persuasive arguments, and remain actively engaged to guide discussions toward productive solutions. Even after resolution, we assist with drafting enforceable settlement agreements and ensure compliance by all parties.
