Litigation can be slow and expensive
Attorneys fees and the retention of expert witnesses is very expensive. The New York Courts have always taken several years for cases to wind through the system, much longer if there are motions and appeals. With Covid-19, the courts have been shut down since March of 2020 with no end in sight. There will be large backlogs of cases which will slow things down even more.
Mediation and arbitration resolves conflicts fast
Mediation is when a neutral person with special knowledge seeks to resolve a lawsuit or other dispute, by meeting with the parties to the lawsuit in order to obtain a swift and fair negotiated settlement. Arbitration decides disputes with informal hearings before one arbitrator or several arbitrators. There is no jury. Arbitration is much quicker and much less expensive that going to trial before a Court. Unlike mediation, arbitration has no negotiation. The arbitrator hears the evidence in a case and decides if there will be any award and, if so, how much the award will be.

Early Mediation Yields Superior Results in Many Cases
Mediation is inherently a win-win proposition. All sides to a dispute need to gain something for a mediation to be successful. Why participate if there is nothing in it for you? But too many times, parties don’t think about mediation until years after the litigation has been filed.
