Mediation/Arbitration

There are times when two parties to a case prefer to have a neutral mediator or arbitrator help them come to an amicable agreement. There are many reasons to do so and most of these revolve around costs and the nature of the case. When you are looking for a neutral arbiter or mediator for your case, Carcich O’Shea, LLC is exactly what you need. We have years of experience mediating in a wide variety of cases. All through, you can expect professionalism, confidentiality, and candor from us.

Understanding Mediation And Arbitration

Many people often choose to have their cases resolved through mediation. Examples of workplace cases that could be resolved through negotiation include wage disputes and much more. Taking the path of mediation and arbitration makes a lot of sense when the parties want to keep details of their case confidential or if the issues at hand do not necessitate a court process. Typically, an attorney will guide the parties on how the process will go. Apart from a neutral arbiter, the parties involved also can be represented by their attorneys during the negotiation.

Why Should You Hire Attorneys For Mediation And Arbitration Cases?

Getting an attorney to mediate a dispute is important as it increases the chances of a mutually agreeable solution being arrived at. An experienced attorney is also likely to make the process shorter as many of the issues that workplace conflicts revolve around are basically the same. Your mediator or arbiter can quickly identify trouble areas and ensure that the parties cover those as part of the negotiation process. This way, clients save money as shorter legal processes generally tend to be cheaper than long-drawn processes.

Common FAQs About Mediation/Arbitration

When do you need a negotiated settlement?

In any typical workplace, there are conflicts that are particularly suited for mediation or arbitration. If the differences between the two parties concerned are not that significant, mediation or arbitration can help bridge the difference. This form of conflict resolution also works well when parties involved wish to keep details of the dispute as confidential as possible.

What is the difference between mediation and arbitration?

When it comes to mediation, there is a neutral mediator who helps to guide the negotiation process. Through this approach, the parties involved negotiate their way to an acceptable agreement. Arbitration, on the other hand, involves having a neutral party listen to the facts of the case from both sides and make an independent decision.

How do I know the best approach for my case?

The easiest way to know what is best for you is to have a lawyer review the facts of the case and advise you accordingly. Of course, both parties must agree to this approach for it to work. Getting the right mediator or arbiter for your case has a significant effect on the resolution that will be arrived at.

Can I have legal representation while undergoing mediation or arbitration?

Yes, this is possible. You can brief your lawyer to sit in for you during the negotiation in order to ensure that your interests are taken care of.

How is the mediation/arbitration process paid for?

The various parties to the dispute will often share the fees charged by the mediator or arbiter. This, however, does not include the fees of the individual attorney representing the parties during the process.
