Alternative Dispute Resolution

Arbitration and mediation emerged in the 1980s as respected and efficient ways to resolve business disputes. Recognizing the fact that for many disputes, there are more effective methods of resolution than litigation, Freedman Taitelman + Cooley, LLP has developed expertise in ADR. ADR is utilized for a variety of reasons: to increase efficiency in the process or reduce the costs of dispute resolution; to increase client awareness of issues and risk; to resolve a dispute while preserving an existing business relationship; to allow involvement by a person with training or experience similar to the dispute in question; and to minimize publicity surrounding a dispute. Our attorneys employ ADR procedures such as mediation and arbitration where appropriate to resolve disputes as economically and efficiently as possible.
