Alternate Dispute Resolution The firm's dispute resolution practice covers a broad spectrum of client problems from commercial and real property disputes to construction disputes, insurance coverage issues and employment law matters. The firm's philosophy is that litigation is but one tool in the dispute resolution arsenal, and that while litigation may be required under the appropriate circumstances, it exists as a means of resolving disputes rather than an end taking on its own separate existence. Accordingly, the firm encourages early intervention in disputes and the exploration of alternate means to resolve disputes without the cost and burdens that litigation or arbitration may impose. Our litigators have a successful history of advocating for our clients in mediation; in addition, several of the firm's attorneys are trained mediators, and stand ready to provide mediation services to other attorneys and their clients seeking our assistance in resolving disputes.
