Mediation

Before spending countless time and money in litigation over the business, consider mediation. Mediation is non-binding but often leads to an agreed settlement, with the added benefit of preserving relationships.

Business disputes end up in litigation far too often. When you or your business is involved in a dispute heading for litigation you need more than a law firm you need a partner to guide you to a positive solution before the situation gets bad.

Our mediator, Ken McLaughlin, is a seasoned commercial litigator with over 20 years of experience and has handled a broad array of commercial cases. He has successfully negotiated effective results for his clients repeatedly. He has experience with alternative dispute resolution techniques, including traditional and faith-based mediation.

When Mediation Is Right For You

Mediation is a confidential process where a neutral expert collaborates with the parties to find a solution that respects each of their interests. The mediator will not impose a judgement, facilitate discussion between the parties to attempt to find a solution that works for everyone. Mediation is non-binding but often leads towards an agreed settlement.
One of the most common reasons for using mediation is that it saves time and costs, with the added benefit of preserving relationships. Mr. McLaughlin can help you resolve your dispute without the expense of litigation in the following types of cases:

  • Construction or Environmental
  • Technology and Intellectual Property
  • Employment Disputes
  • Commercial or Business Disputes
  • Probate and Trust
