Many executives are bound by employment contracts that mandate arbitration instead of court. Others prefer mediation to avoid the publicity of litigation. These processes can work well—but only if you know the rules.
Mediation is a voluntary process aimed at resolution. It’s informal, confidential, and often quicker. Arbitration is more formal and binding—essentially a private trial. Both can offer advantages, but they’re not without risks.
If you’re headed into arbitration or mediation, you need someone who knows how to build leverage and use the forum effectively. These aren’t just legal proceedings—they’re negotiation platforms.
We represent clients in both forums and understand how to use them to your advantage. Don’t go it alone.
