- Cost Effective—Mediation/arbitration can significantly reduce legal costs compared to traditional litigation. Many of the steps required when you are in court can be bypassed in the Med/Arb process. The fees incurred are lower compared to lengthy court battles.
- Time Efficiency—These processes are typically quicker than court proceedings allowing for faster resolutions. Med/arb can usually be scheduled more quickly than court dates. Availability of arbitration times are based on counsels’ and the arbitrator’s calendar as opposed to an overloaded court calendar.
- Streamlined Process—The procedures in med/arb are less formal and can move at a pace that is comfortable for both parties.
- Confidentiality—Unlike court cases, mediation and arbitration are private, protecting your family matters from public scrutiny and exposure.
- Control and Flexibility—You maintain more control over the outcome as both processes focus on collaborative solutions.
