Businesses increasingly prefer non-judicial methods like arbitration and mediation to resolve disputes. These approaches are typically faster, more cost-effective, and less adversarial than litigation. At Excello Law, we represent clients in all forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), including arbitration and mediation. Our attorneys also serve as third-party neutrals, offering expertise as mediators, arbitrators, and neutral advisors in both private and court-annexed proceedings.
Effective Case Management
We prioritize efficient solutions, using mediation, arbitration, and other ADR methods tailored to each case. When litigation is unavoidable, Excello Law brings extensive trial experience and resources to advocate for our clients.
Why Choose ADR?
ADR is flexible, efficient, and keeps disputes private, avoiding court delays and bureaucracy. It helps preserve business relationships by encouraging a collaborative approach. Mediation and arbitration are especially useful for resolving complex or international disputes and can offer faster, more confidential outcomes than the court system.
Types of ADR Proceedings
- Arbitration: A neutral arbitrator hears the case and makes a binding decision. We handle arbitrations under rules from major organizations like the American Arbitration Association and the International Chamber of Commerce.
- High-Low Arbitration: Parties set a range for the award, reducing financial risk.
- Nonbinding Arbitration: The arbitrator’s decision is used as a guide for further negotiation.
- Mediation: A mediator helps facilitate settlement discussions. This nonbinding process allows parties to reach their own agreement and can be ended at any time.
- Mini-Trials and Simulated Jury Trials: Cases are presented to a neutral party or mock jury for an advisory opinion, aiding in negotiations.
- Conciliation: The conciliator works separately with each party to resolve issues without direct confrontation.
- Other Methods: Options include early case evaluations and settlement conferences, tailored to fit the needs of the dispute.
