ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

While disputes and disagreements may be inevitable aspects of business commerce, litigation and trials do not have to be. To effectively resolve contentious disputes in a cost-efficient manner, a strong litigation team must possess and exercise equal strength and skill inside the courtroom and in alternative dispute resolution forums.

GEM Advocates are sought-after leaders in the area of alternative dispute resolution. We understand not only the nuances of arbitration and mediation itself, but also the distinct procedures and strategies that can be effective in these forums. At GO Advocates, we appreciate that a case in arbitration should not be presented the same way it would be presented in court. Likewise, we recognize that mediation is its own unique process, with distinct goals and strategies, even when a court requires the parties to engage in mediation as part of the litigation process.

In the right circumstances, we can help a client choose an alternative dispute resolution process that can streamline and lower the costs of litigation, move the dispute to a non-public forum, and efficiently craft commercially-reasonable settlements that accomplish a client's business and litigation goals, while protecting long-standing business relationships and maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive, competitive information.
