ALTERNATIVE
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Arbitration, mediation, and
other Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods are the clear
choice when businesses are faced with a conflict - especially
compared to litigation. Business executives have made ADR their
preferred method of resolving disputes. ADR has several benefits: it
helps business manage problems efficiently and economically saving
time and money; ADR negotiated settlements consistently deliver
fair, reasonable, and predictable results; and perhaps most
importantly, ADR preserves vendor, consumer, and employee relations.
In many businesses, arbitration and mediation replace costly, time
consuming, and destructive lawsuits.
Disputes of all types can be
resolved through ADR methods including disputes involving: general
business; intellectual property; financial transactions; commercial
and consumer contracts; employee/employer agreements; torts; real
property; and dozens of other situations when business is asserting
or defending a claim. Since every business relationship has the
potential for conflict, the best time to choose ADR is before a
dispute arises. Let Philip's &Co advise you on how to
incorporate pre-dispute mediation and arbitration clauses into your
contracts, agreements, and relationships. Smart businesses plan ahead to have disputes resolved fairly, affordably, and
quickly. Let us show you how your company can benefit from the
affordable, accessible and reasonable ADR process.
