Alternative Dispute Resolution

We litigate cases to win�on motions, at trial, or on appeal. But we understand that, for many clients, a desire to avoid the burden, expense, and risk of prolonged litigation often counsels in favor of a resolution short of final judgment on the merits, if that can be done on favorable terms. Therefore, even as we prepare cases for trial and try them, we are alert to opportunities to resolve the case before, or even during, trial in a manner that serves the client�s interests. Our lawyers have extensive experience in all forms of alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration, mediation, and traditional settlement negotiations. We have devised and counseled clients regarding precedent-setting settlements for private class action litigation and claims asserted by governmental plaintiffs.
