Cost-Effective Dispute Resolution Through ADR
The expense involved in civil litigation is an important factor that any business contemplating a lawsuit needs to take into account. At Escandari & Michon, our lawyers understand that legal fees represent at best a drag on your profits and can even force you into tough choices between business operations and legal expenses.
We understand how difficult it can be to commit to the expense and uncertainty of a lawsuit. We therefore encourage our clients to consider alternative dispute resolution as an effective means of protecting your essential interests while keeping your legal bill to a minimum.
Contact Escandari & Michon in Beverly Hills to learn how ADR can advance your objectives while saving you time and money. As a certified mediator and arbitrator in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Alexander Escandari knows how and when to resort to ADR techniques as an effective settlement device. He has lectured on alternative dispute resolution from Pepperdine to Dubai, and his understanding of the potential of ADR to achieve complex litigation goals by itself represents an important advantage for our firm's clients.
ADR Is More Than Just a Way to Compromise Disputed Claims
Alternative dispute resolution is more than a way to split the difference on a contested claim. It's a streamlined approach to civil litigation that emphasizes results over procedural gambits. It can keep your business dispute out of the public view and greatly reduce the strain that litigation can impose on your business operations and key personnel. ADR can bring your essential issues into sharp focus so that your litigation resources aren't dissipated on peripheral claims and defenses.
You'd be surprised what can be settled through mediation or binding arbitration. We've seen cases settle where the parties could barely agree as to what time zone they were in, let alone the facts of the case. Skilled mediators can also overcome the barriers of personal animosity by steering the focus of the parties to their essential interests and the situation at hand, as opposed to the hostility they feel for one another.
Southern California attorney Alexander Escandari can represent parties in mediation or arbitration, or he can serve as the third-party neutral by appointment of the parties to a dispute. Either way, he'll help you get the most out of your session and keep the focus where it belongs — a solution to the problem before you.
