Mediation

If you believe your dispute can be settled with some help, you can consider mediation. An impartial mediator helps both parties to reach a mutual agreement.

Arbitration

For more complex disputes, consider arbitration. An arbitrator reviews the evidence, hears from both parties and makes the legally binding decision.

Mediation Programs

Mediation is a structured and voluntary process in which a neutral third party, known as a mediator, facilitates communication and negotiation between two or more parties who are involved in a dispute or conflict. The mediator does not impose a decision but rather helps the parties communicate effectively, understand each other's perspectives, and work together to find common ground. The goal of mediation is to help the parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement or resolution to their issues without going to court or engaging in a formal legal process.

Business to Business (B2B)

For Disputes Between Businesses

Disputes involving businesses occur millions of times a year. More often than not, disputes between businesses don't involve millions of dollars but the resolution of these matters can be critically important to all businesses of any size. Any dispute that delays payment of a receivable to a company can be costly in many ways that are not limited to the unpaid invoice(s). Spending time on outstanding receivables takes a company's staff time and resources away from generating more revenue. Smaller business disputes at this point are only resolved through litigation using attorneys which can be both a costly and lengthy process.

Business and Consumer (B2C)

For Disputes Involving Businesses & Consumers

Each year there are millions of transactions between individuals and businesses. These transactions can include anything from the extension of credit by a bank or store (through credit cards or other types of loans) to the rental of property/apartments or the rental or lease of a vehicle. They can also include work done for individuals by independent contractors such as electricians, plumbers, or repairmen on their houses or personal property such as appliances, computers or televisions. Unfortunately, on many occasions disagreements arise between the parties. Until now, litigation has been the most common way to resolve these disputes.
