Arbitration/Mediation

Arbitration and mediation have proven to be efficient and effective means for resolving disputes. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is now part of the “mainstream,” rather than a mere “alternative.”  Professionally skilled neutrals are the key to any successful solution through ADR.

Reaching resolution through mediation requires a neutral who can communicate effectively and fairly with all parties. Deciding matters in arbitration demands an arbitrator with objectivity, analytical skills, and an understanding of the applicable law. Turner Padget's ADR team of trained and certified mediators and arbitrators bring experience, ability and credibility to the table.

Areas of emphasis include:

• Employment
• Environmental Matters
• Business, Partnership and Contract Disputes
• Real Estate
• Construction
• Insurance
• Claims by and against Governments
• Intergovernmental Disputes
• Intellectual Property
• Unfair Competition
• Products Liability
• Medical and Professional Liability
• Personal Injury
• Workers’ Compensation
• Bankruptcy
• Zoning and Land Use Issues

Our offices also provide the accommodations (large conference and break out rooms) and technology (video and phone conferencing, projectors and screens) necessary for successful ADR sessions.
