Arbitration and/or Mediation
There may be part of an issue or a few issues which cannot be resolved through negotiations alone. In these cases we help our clients to evaluation the options of business mediation and arbitration. Each dispute resolution option has advantages and disadvantages. Arbitration is often the fastest and surest way to bring a shareholder dispute to resolution. However, this option is much more legally structured and requires the parties to submit to the ultimate authority of the arbiter. The decision of the arbiter is final and cannot be appealed unless exceptional circumstances exist such as collusion between the parties.
Mediation is a private, confidential environment which keeps business and financial details associated with the dispute out of the public record. Mediation allows the Watkins Firm and our clients to maintain a higher level of influence upon the process and ultimate outcome while often reducing the costs of resolution.
Business litigation and trial is usually reserved as a final alternative due to issues of time and associated costs.
