Alternative Dispute Resolution

Drawn out litigation can be a serious detriment to your business, even if you are the plaintiff in a claim. Resolutions gained through the courts can certainly prove valuable, but they also must run on the schedule of a system taxed by an abundance of lawsuits. In some cases, by the time appeals are exhausted and a final judicial decision is rendered, many years may have passed. Throughout its duration the dispute may have served as a constant distraction and drain on your emotional and financial reserves. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) may offer a quicker way to end a troublesome matter.

If you are considering whether an alternative dispute resolution clause might be worth including in your contracts or seeking in the midst of a current issue, we may be able to help you to choose wisely. Contact the Des Moines business lawyers of LaMarca & Landry, P.C., at 877-327-2600.

Different Kinds of Alternative Dispute Resolution

When pursuing a legal concern through the judicial system, the prescribed path is essentially fixed and you have only one option. However with alternative dispute resolution, there are a number of different tracks that may be taken by the party controlling the direction of the argument. Choosing which method is best-suited to your needs and interests requires careful consideration of the details of each, and one of our skilled and experienced attorneys can help you to make that call. Commonly encountered forms of ADR are:

• Arbitration
• Negotiation
• Mediation
