Our firm’s experience extends to the arbitration and mediation field. We handle both international and domestic arbitration and mediation matters. As a general rule, the expense and delay of litigating controversies in state and federal courts can be avoided if business agreements include alternative dispute resolution (ADR) clauses. We strongly recommend that our clients include a well-drafted arbitration clause, especially in all international business dealings and contracts.

For international transactions, we can prepare an arbitration provision favorable to our client in terms of the location of and procedural rules that govern the proceeding. For domestic transactions, we counsel our clients about the potential advantages and disadvantages of subjecting their business or contractual disputes to ADR. In any case, once an ADR dispute arises, we are ready to vigorously represent and defend our clients’ best interests.
