Areas of Practice
Mediation
Facilitates communication, promotes understanding and helps the parties explore options to reach a resolution, without imposing a decision.
Arbitration
A procedure in which a neutral person or persons hears evidence and arguments presented by the involved parties and renders a decision. The decision is not binding, but serves to guide the parties in trying to settle their lawsuit. It is an alternative to traditional litigation and provides a more private, less expensive and streamlined method for resolving conflicts outside of court.
Early Neutral Evaluation
ENE aims to help parties gain a realistic understanding of their positions, strengths and weaknesses, thereby encouraging informed settlement discussions. This evaluation occurs at the early stages of a dispute, allowing parties to make more informed decisions about potential resolutions, such as settlement negotiations or further litigation strategies.
Mini-trial
A mini-trial is a voluntary and structured dispute resolution process in which parties present their case to a selected representative for each party and a neutral third party to define the issues and develop a basis for settlement negotiations.
Summary
Jury Trial
Provides parties with a process to present an abbreviated case presentation to a jury. A judge presides over the hearing, but the rules of evidence are relaxed. The objective is to allow the parties to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of their case, facilitating settlement negotiations based on the jury's feedback.
