Healthcare Arbitration

Healthcare Arbitration or Healthcare Mediation Options for Resolution of Business DisputesArbitration is a common strategy for disputes which arise in a California healthcare or physician employment contract.  Arbitration not only reduces a lot of the costs associated with medical and healthcare related disputes, it ensures a prompt resolution to the matter. Our attorneys have carefully crafted physician and healthcare related employment contracts and arbitration agreements for decades.  This experience serves the firm well in healthcare related arbitrations and dispute resolution cases.  We thoroughly evaluate each situation to determine if underlying agreements violate California’s strict employment guidelines and arbitration provisions. The experienced healthcare arbitration and healthcare mediation attorneys at the Watkins Firm work with our clients to select a qualified, expert arbitrator knowing that many have the reputation for simply looking to find the “middle ground.”

Mediation Relating to a Healthcare or Medical Dispute

Mediation is another effective tool for resolving a medical or healthcare related dispute.  Healthcare mediation provides a confidential, private and effective environment for the parties and their legal representatives to clarify genuine issues, identify potential alternatives and ultimately resolve the dispute at hand. The Watkins Firm represents our clients and protects their interests throughout the mediation process including the selection of a qualified and experienced healthcare dispute mediator and during associated negotiations.  We carefully craft and/or review all associated legal documents or settlement agreements.
