Business litigation is difficult and expensive. Even the smallest disputes take hours of time from business management, development and expansion. Business litigation outcomes are unpredictable, accompanied by high litigation costs, often decided by people with little knowledge of business. Alternative Dispute Resolution (mediation and/or arbitration) are significantly better alternatives to the expense, time and speculation of state or federal litigation. Mediation allows the parties to control outcomes in a confidential setting … arbitration allows the parties to present their case to one or more professionals who are highly educated in both the law and substance of the areas of conflict.
