Resolving Disputes Efficiently with ADR
Effective Strategies for Dispute Resolution
Disputes often take months and even years to resolve, and the reality is that most cases can and should be resolved at the bargaining table. The difference between winning and losing often comes down to your attorney’s ability to negotiate an agreement on terms that benefit you. The Goosmann Law Firm ADR Team can help provide a neutral perspective on your case and assist in resolving your dispute in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Understanding Mediation and Arbitration in Omaha
Mediation is an informal dispute resolution process used to settle cases before trial. When the parties agree to mediate, they agree to hire a “mediator,” who is typically a veteran attorney or retired judge, to help them try to settle their lawsuit. The mediator typically meets with the parties together, then meets with the parties privately to discuss the relative strengths and weaknesses of the parties’ respective positions. The mediator then facilitates between the parties’ settlement demands and counteroffers with the ultimate goal of reaching a settlement. If the parties cannot reach a settlement, the mediation ends. The mediator cannot force the parties to settle their dispute. Generally, mediation is a voluntary process.
Arbitration, on the other hand, is a more structured process and is binding on the parties. The process of arbitration requires a dispute to be submitted, by agreement of the parties, to a binding decision maker, the arbitrator. The arbitrator listens to witnesses testify and considers evidence much like a judge or jury, and then renders a written decision. The case is resolved by an arbitrator in a confidential forum, but the arbitrator’s decision can be filed with a Court and converted into a formal judgment against the losing party. Goosmann Law’s ADR attorneys mediate and arbitrate cases routinely.
