Mediation & Arbitration

Print Expertise

While disputes are an inevitable part of doing business and everyday life, there are various alternate methods for resolving them without resorting to litigation depending on the circumstances. Many parties prefer, or are contractually obligated, to resolve their dispute with the assistance of a private neutral through mediation or arbitration, collectively known as alternative dispute resolution (ADR), a more expeditious and cost-effective means to advance their goals.

At Torkin Manes, we not only represent our clients in ADR proceedings, but also have a roster of distinguished qualified neutrals who are frequently sought out by litigants and their counsel to assist in bringing their dispute to a conclusion, via settlement or private adjudication.

Parties who mediate their disputes can rely on our experienced mediators, who excel in facilitating negotiations to meet parties’ needs quickly at lower costs than court proceedings. When arbitration is required, parties can feel confident that our arbitrators govern a judicious and impartial process that yields a balanced outcome in a timely manner.

Over the years, our mediators and arbitrators have been commended for their knowledge of the subject matter, their steadfast impartiality and reliability, and their commitment to achieving objective resolutions. Each member of our team has a proven track record and has been recognized as a leader in their respective area of expertise.  

Areas of law in which we have active neutrals include:

  • Family Law
  • General Commercial Litigation
  • Professional Liability
  • Real Estate, including Commercial Leasing
  • Trusts and Estates
