Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Alternative Dispute Resolution often provides a more cost-effective solution to disputes than traditional litigation proceedings and is less injurious to business relationships. Because disputes are not brought in the public forum of the courts, publicity is minimized, the hostilities are reduced, participants face a greater likelihood of more consistent and objective results, and the potential for large verdicts that juries are inclined to award is avoided.
Garnett is a strong advocate of ADR in order to achieve both the business objectives and the budgetary goals of our clients. Our attorneys have extensive experience representing clients as advocates in ADR proceedings, and designing ADR contracts and policies. They also serve as mediators or arbitrators in disputes between parties we do not represent. We are skilled in evaluating your organization to develop and draft those conflict resolution processes best suited to meet your needs. We design conflict resolution systems that consider the interests of all parties in order to resolve conflicts early. Such systems have been used for conflicts between companies involved in domestic and international transactions, manufacturers and distributors, management and employees and others.
Arbitration involves a hearing before one or more non-judges that results in a decision that may be judicially enforced – including in many cases in foreign countries. Arbitration has become a widespread and preferred method of resolving disputes in many industries. Less formal than court proceedings, arbitration is often quicker and more cost-effective. Garnett’s advocates and neutrals have arbitrated a wide variety of matters domestically and internationally, including business transactions and business torts, computer law disputes, commercial disputes, and insurance controversies.
