Our Recent Sound Business Insights Episode 12 – Resolving Business Disputes Part 2 continues where the discussion left off just as it was getting really into the heart of the matter: Arbitration and trial.  What happens when the parties are unable to work out a resolution of a business to business dispute or contract breach through negotiation?  Dan Watkins explains the process of reaching a settlement in these cases and the difference between arbitration, mediation and taking the case to trial in a Court of law.

In the second part of our Episode 12 – Resolving Business Disputes Part 2 Dan focuses on Arbitration and taking a case to trial, as well as the leverage this brings to drive the case to a settlement.  If negotiations are not fruitful, it is usually time to file an action and begin the process of pursuing a lawsuit.  The case appears to be headed to arbitration or trial… but is it?  What is a settlement conference?  What is mediation?  What is the difference between mediation and arbitration?  What is the difference between arbitration and a Court trial?

What is “The Dance” and how are experienced Judges and Mediators trained to use this proven strategy to help the parties to ultimately reach an agreement to settle the dispute at hand? What is at the core of the dispute?  In most cases it’s money.  In other cases there may be a long-standing and important business relationship which needs to be salvaged and repaired?  What are the goals you’ve established and how do we accomplish those objectives?  Dan continues this insightful discussion on how business disputes are resolved in the real world and how the Watkins Firm can help you to gain an advantage throughout the process.
