Various industries are adopting and implementing clauses requiring that disputes be settled and resolved between the parties through binding arbitration or another method of Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR"). For example, many employment, construction, real estate, business contracts, and partnership agreements include ADR clauses.
ADR options, such as mediation and arbitration, are raised with the firm's clients at the earliest appropriate point so as to collaboratively agree on the most appropriate and efficient dispute resolution vehicle for the dispute at hand.
