Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and Litigation

The two frequently used types of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) are mediation and arbitration. If the dispute at hand can be solved through mediation, this will usually benefit both parties. Mediation is the least expensive, time-consuming, and aggressive type of dispute resolution, and depending on the specifics, the involved parties can have a positive working relationship again.

Arbitration has the potential to become more acrimonious than mediation but is still typically less costly and involved than litigation. During an arbitration, an arbitrator or panel of arbitrators evaluates the two sides of the dispute and hands down a legally binding decision.

If the dispute cannot be solved through alternative means, a litigation can be the best solution. It is critical to work with a highly experienced Memphis construction law attorney who will bring experience and tenacity to your case.
