Mediation

Arbitration (instead of mediation)

• Gives parties and their lawyers a chance to present the case for decision.
• Quick and final resolution of disputes.
• Less expensive procedure to have a case decided.
• More informal than trial.
• Final decision is rendered, which can be filed and enforced in court.
