Arbitrations-Mediations and ADR

Arbitrations, Mediations, and ADR

Although lengthy trials are sometimes unavoidable for resolving a case, legally effective alternatives are available. Many people often choose to negotiate and reach an out-of-court agreement with the opposing party.

The Sorenson Law Firm in Tempe, Arizona, has extensive experience in arbitrations, meditations, and other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods. Our cutting-edge expertise allows us to use various techniques to guide the negotiation process. We creatively help the parties find the optimal solutions that fairly represent both sides.

Two opposing parties trying to devise a constructive agreement without an arbitrator or mediator can lead to tension, making direct negotiations challenging. Our mediation and arbitration attorney will help you begin the process by implementing effective, practical, formal, and informal procedures for handling the dispute. Our goal is to ensure the disputes come to an early, successful, and peaceful conclusion.

Benefits of Arbitrations, Mediations, and ADR

Choosing an out of court dispute resolution process has tremendous benefits that both parties enjoy:

• Cost-effective: Generally, litigation of a dispute costs more than the average arbitration or mediation cost in Tempe, Arizona. These out-of-court processes also take less time than a full-court case, which can take months, leading to more legal fees.
• Guaranteed confidentiality: Court hearings are public while ADR proceedings remain strictly confidential. Only the involved parties and the arbitration or mediation attorney know what transpired in the negotiation room.
• Assured compliance: The resolution agreed by both parties is legally binding, and compliance is often certain and fully enforceable in court. You do not need to employ a lawyer to force compliance.
• More control: Alternative dispute resolutions give the parties involved more control than the court, where the judge and jury control the outcome. Arbitration and mediation usually produce mutually agreeable results.

If you are looking for an arbitration and mediation attorney in Tempe, Arizona, to facilitate your ADR case and enjoy these benefits, then The Sorenson Law Firm is the ADR team for you. Our attorneys act as neutral facilitators and offer guidance to both parties through the process while helping them think outside the box to broaden the possible solutions available.

How Arbitration Works

Arbitration is a lighter and quicker version of a trial that helps to resolve disputes outside the court. Both parties choose one or more people (arbitrators) to decide their case. The arbitrator should be an expert in legal matters. Each party gets a chance to share their story and present their evidence. After a thoughtful discussion, the arbitrator makes a decision based on their understanding of the law.

You have the option of making the arbitration binding, meaning that the court cannot review or change it. Non-binding arbitration can go to court if one or both parties disagree on the decision, which rarely happens.

How Mediation Works

Mediation is a structured interactive dispute resolution process, but in this case, the person meditating does not decide for the parties. Mediators are often attorneys, but some states allow other people who have received training to become one. The mediator facilitates open communication and enlightens the parties involved about their legal rights and liabilities.

When both parties reach an agreement, the mediator assists them in putting it in writing and obtaining approval from a judge. The agreement becomes binding by order of the court and is enforceable by law. Arizona Mediation services are often used in legal areas such as family law, where a court cannot offer the time and effort needed to reach a peaceful and relatively fair agreement.
