What Is an Alternative Dispute Resolution?
Alternative dispute resolution refers to any type of procedure that resolves a legal dispute without going to trial. Many business contracts include clauses that require some form of alternative dispute resolution before a case can proceed to court. These clauses aim to keep court and legal costs to a minimum should a business dispute arise.
The most common type of ADR in business law is mediation. Mediation involves both parties involved in the dispute and a mediator. A mediator is a neutral third party who is often trained in conflict resolution. If mediation doesn’t work, the issue may move to arbitration. This is another type of ADR that may end in a binding order made by the arbitrator.
What to Expect During an Alternate Dispute Resolution
If your business law issue goes through ADR, work with a lawyer at the Law Offices of William D. Black to find out what to expect from your meeting. Although ADR is less formal than a business law trial, it should still be treated with care and due diligence. You and the other party will attend a meeting at a predetermined time and place, with or without business litigation lawyers representing you (as desired). Having a Chandler attorney who specializes in alternative dispute resolutions with you can ensure the protection of your rights during this process.
Mediation begins by introducing all parties present. Then, both the plaintiff and defendant will have the chance to state the facts of his or her case. At this point, the parties will generally be separated and sent into different rooms. The mediator will go back and forth between the two parties to carry messages and try to facilitate an agreement. Arbitration in Arizona more closely resembles court proceedings and will end with a binding decision (unless the parties chose nonbinding arbitration).
