Mediation turns conflict into cooperation by addressing issues early and fostering open communication. It will likely drag on much longer than you thought and will cost you more. We invite you to first contact Approved Dispute Resolution to resolve your complex disputes through the connections that civil communication can foster in the ADR process. We often settle cases within one day with agreements that both sides walk away from the table accepting. We work with your business to steer a clear path toward a beneficial resolution, paving the way for meaningful solutions.

What Are Dispute Resolution Services?

Dispute resolution services are the process of settling disputes without going to court through effective conflict management. We have seen organizations lose a large piece of their annual operating budget to settle litigation in court. It hurts everyone and costs more than expected. It is rare that one party has the outcome they had hoped to achieve. Remote dispute resolution solutions are also available to meet the diverse needs of our clients.

What Are The Benefits Of Mediation And Arbitration?

If you are considering resolving a dispute that is in prelitigation through dispute resolution, you are in the right place. Sitting down with a neutral third party in dispute resolution can do much more than prevent litigation. Mediation and arbitration can offer several advantages over traditional litigation. Just a few of these include:

• Cost-effective: Mediation and arbitration are generally less expensive than going to court, saving clients significant legal fees.
• Time-saving: These processes are typically quicker than the lengthy court proceedings, allowing for faster resolution of disputes.
• Confidentiality: Both mediation and arbitration are private processes, keeping sensitive business information out of the public record.
• Control: Parties have more control over the outcome in mediation, as they work together to reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
• Flexibility: The processes can be tailored to the specific needs of the parties, offering more flexible solutions than a court judgment.
• Reduced stress: The less adversarial nature of mediation and arbitration can reduce the emotional strain on all parties involved.

The neutral third party whom you choose can make a significant difference on the length that the process takes and the equity of the outcome. We have a long roster of satisfied clients who can point to our ability to be fair, efficient and collaborative. Because Ms. Adelson practices mediation and arbitration solely, she has an outstanding depth and breadth of knowledge to offer.

Mediation For Dispute Resolution

A negotiation is led by Approved Dispute Resolution, an outside and neutral third party. This negotiation is done by an experienced litigator with a strong command of communication and handling conflict. The mediator ensures the negotiation stays on track with both parties consenting to an agreement. Having a mediator with vast experience helps with knowing the laws and different methods in negotiation to come to a resolution. Seamless, personalized interactions are key to our approach.

A Certified And Credentialed Federal Mediator

Lori Adelson is a Florida Supreme Court-certified civil circuit and federal court-certified mediator. She facilitates dispute resolution by encouraging open communication, assisting parties in identifying their interests and exploring potential solutions.

Having a skilled mediator is crucial for receiving a neutral evaluation and for arriving at a solution. Lori’s extensive experience in litigation and dispute resolution equips her with the insight and creativity needed to navigate complex disputes. Her role as a neutral fact-finder and a member of the National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals further underscores her ability to handle high-stakes mediations effectively, providing seamless, personalized interactions.

Arbitration For Dispute Resolution

Arbitration is a more formal process than mediation. A neutral third party called an arbitrator hears both sides’ evidence before making a binding decision. Ms. Adelson is a Florida Supreme Court-qualified and American Arbitration Association (AAA) arbitrator. She brings her extensive legal background to the arbitration process, ensuring a fair and thorough examination of the issues at hand. Transparency and ease in the dispute resolution process are key elements of her approach.

The right arbitrator can significantly impact the outcome of a conflict. Lori’s role as a panelist on the AAA National Roster of Arbitrators and Mediators, coupled with her federal mediator status, is a testament to her capability. Her deep understanding of business and employment law disputes ensures that all aspects of the case receive meticulous consideration. Services tailored to the client’s needs further enhance the effectiveness of her arbitration services.
