We work to develop a thorough, well documented chronology of everything that has happened, as well as a mastery of the potential damages associated with the dispute. We work to maintain a productive working “atmosphere” while discussing the issues of the dispute, and to preserve valuable underlying business relationships whenever possible.
Mediation and Arbitration
Business mediation and/or a settlement conference are often successful strategies when a dispute involves matters of principle or other difficult challenges. Mediation is a confidential, private venue that keeps your business and financial information out of the public record while establishing the right environment to understand every aspect of the dispute and reach a negotiated resolution.
Many contracts specify arbitration as an alternative to trial. Arbitration is an intensely focused legal proceeding designed to eliminate the superfluous elements of a trial, marshal the evidence and witness testimony and render a final decision within a matter of weeks. The “award” or decision of the arbitrator is final and cannot be appealed in most cases.
Pro-Tip: “It is important to work with an experienced attorney who is able to represent you in every potential venue associated with the dispute at hand. Large firms are known for “padding the file” and billing for everyone throughout their law firm who takes any action whatsoever. The Watkins Firm provides the power, proven track record at trial and experience of a large law firm, while saving our clients a substantial amount of money. Our clients value the ability to pick up the phone and have a conversation without having to worry about a bill for every second of the conversation.” – Founding Partner Dan Watkins
