Mediation & Alternative Dispute Resolution
While Lewis & Kappes offers the services of experienced litigation attorneys, the most efficient and economical method of resolving a dispute will not always require resort to the judicial system. We seek to tailor the dispute resolution procedure to meet the needs and interests of the client on a case-by-case basis, and are experienced in alternatives to traditional litigation that include:
Mediation
Binding and non-binding arbitration
Private negotiation and court-supervised settlement conferences
Mini-trials
In addition to utilizing such procedures on behalf of clients seeking alternative methods of resolving disputes, several Lewis & Kappes attorneys are themselves trained and registered mediators who preside over mediations seeking to resolve disputes and achieve settlements between adverse parties. Please contact the attorneys listed on this page for more information.
