Negotiation is a key tool in preventing litigation by enabling parties to resolve disputes amicably and promptly. When successful, it avoids the costs, delays, and adversarial nature of court proceedings. However, if negotiation does not lead to agreement, other options like mediation, arbitration, or litigation may be necessary. Early engagement in negotiation often improves the chances of reaching a satisfactory resolution without further legal action.
If negotiations fail, parties may consider mediation or arbitration as alternative dispute resolution methods. These processes involve neutral third parties to facilitate or decide outcomes, offering less formal and often quicker resolutions than litigation. In some instances, unresolved disputes may proceed to court, where a judge or jury determines the outcome. Our firm can guide you through each option to select the best path forward based on your circumstances.
