Alternative Dispute Resolution

With costs of litigation rising and overburdening court systems, experienced attorneys at DeCotiis, FitzPatrick, Cole & Giblin, LLP, offer Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) to allow parties to work toward a voluntary and consensual agreement between the parties. The firm’s ADR Practice Group is comprised of a diverse group of attorneys who focus their practices in various areas of litigation, as well as corporate, labor and employment, real estate, construction, environmental and healthcare law. They include trial and transactional lawyers, a former judge, court appointed mediator and arbitrator.

The ADR practice area encompasses mediation, arbitration and other creative alternatives to formal legal proceedings. The attorneys in the ADR Practice Group develop sophisticated strategies for conflict management and resolution by placing an early and comprehensive focus on the business and personal relationships, transaction details, and other relevant factors that have contributed to a dispute. An effective resolution through ADR should uphold the rights of all parties, meet their objectives, preserve relationships, and avoids the time and expense associated with traditional litigation.
