Arbitration, mediation, and mini-trials are forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). It can possibly be a faster and less expensive way to resolve a civil or commercial dispute. Arbitration or mediation may offer more privacy regarding the facts of the case compared to a civil litigation in court. Mediation proceedings allow the participants to come to an agreeable resolution with the help of a Mediator. Arbitration decisions are generally binding and ask a neutral Arbitrator to resolve a dispute. We can schedule mediations and arbitrations for online dispute resolution (ODR) for the convenience of the parties.
