Alternative Dispute Litigation

Traditional litigation may be the only way to resolve some intractable disputes. Given the taxing expenditure of time and resources that a resolution by trial commands, however, it is no wonder that the overwhelming majority of civil disputes are resolved by other methods.

At ALS we have made a study of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and are proud of our record of maximizing results for our clients while avoiding protracted litigation.

Before litigation is initiated and grows into an expensive and time-consuming undertaking we review varied options and approaches. These can include arbitration, mediation, fast-tracking, summary jury trial, mock trial, executive or private trial, early neutral evaluation, or even an individually customized ADR procedure to produce better results, faster and at less inconvenience and cost for our clients. We never want our clients to be “winning the battle but losing the war."
