ADR

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

At Lynch, Gilardi and Grummer, we duly recognize that there are varying magnitudes of disputes and not all matters require the time, expense and loss of privacy incurred by going through trial court proceedings. Not only have almost all our attorneys represented parties in arbitration and mediation proceedings, but several of our attorneys have many years experience acting as arbitrators and mediators. These individuals work with parties to resolve disputes in a fast, fair, cost effective, flexible, and private manner.

Arbitration and mediation are defined as follows:

Arbitration: Where disputes are submitted to one or several arbitrators (neutral third party) who make a binding decision (an "award") on the dispute.

Mediation: A non-binding procedure where a neutral party, the mediator, assists the parties in reaching and agreeing upon a mutually satisfactory, settlement of the dispute.

Arbitrators in our firm are:
