Common questions about dispute resolution and advice
Our clients often ask about the various methods of dispute resolution and the scope of our advisory services. We're here to explain each option clearly.
What is arbitration?
Arbitration is a process where a neutral third party, the arbitrator, hears both sides of a dispute and makes a binding decision to resolve it.
What is adjudication?
What is mediation?
Mediation is a facilitated negotiation where a neutral mediator helps parties communicate and reach their own mutually agreeable solution.
What is med-arb?
Med-arb is a hybrid process that begins with mediation. If the parties cannot reach an agreement through mediation, the process transitions to arbitration, where the neutral party makes a binding decision.

Expert determination involves a neutral expert in a specific field providing a binding decision on a technical or factual issue within the dispute.
