Alternative Dispute Resolution
Burch & Cracchiolo attorneys are committed to assisting our clients in resolving disputes in the manner that most effectively meets our clients' goals. In many cases, the situation calls for an alternative to the traditional litigation process culminating in a jury trial which may become protracted and expensive. In many cases, the cost, delay, publicity, and lack of control over the outcome are just too high of a price to pay for the right to a jury trial. Our commercial litigation team is highly skilled at achieving favorable outcomes for our clients who are better served by resolution outside the courtroom.
Cases may be resolved through negotiation which involves negotiation between the parties, with the assistance of their respective attorneys; arbitration, which involves the selection of one or more neutral third parties who render a binding decision following the presentation of evidence; mediation, which involves the use of a skilled neutral third party who does not have the power to impose a solution, but assists the parties in arriving at their own confidential solution; mini-trial which involves a hearing before a neutral third party selected by the parties; or, in some cases; summary jury trial which involves a private proceeding in a courtroom overseen by a judge, where parties agree that jurors selected in a manner similar to an ordinary jury trial may render either a binding or non-binding decision that will lead the parties in a resolution.
