Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
ADR, primarily arbitration and mediation, enables you to resolve disputes without litigation. Minnesota Supreme Court Rule 114 mandates ADR for most civil cases. People opt for commercial arbitration and mediation services as cost-effective alternatives to court proceedings.
Felhaber is highly experienced in a wide variety of ADR methods, including:
- Arbitration: A third-party neutral (arbitrator or panel of arbitrators) hears evidence and arguments and submits a binding decision to the parties.
- Mediation: A third-party neutral (mediator) is assigned to help the parties settle a disputed matter.
- Mini-Trial: A third-party neutral (an advisor specialized in the subject matter) hears counsel for the parties to argue the case and offers an analysis.
