Disputes are involuntarily but flexibly and efficiently resolved in arbitration. Disputes are prevented or narrowed in negotiation and conciliation. Prevention is the best dispute resolution method but prevention takes experience foresight and carefully drafted pre-dispute agreements determine the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of post-dispute resolution. Our lawyers prevent disputes and litigation as much as they litigate and resolve disputes alternatively. There are many ways to resolve a dispute but it takes ADR experience and wisdom to know which ADR method works best in each dispute. The drafting of an ADR agreement in a business transaction can be the most important part of the agreement but often is a neglected and hastily drawn part of the agreement. Having dealt with hundreds of ADR agreements and having used multiple ADR methods, our lawyers can guide clients in the most appropriate ADR agreements for each transaction.
