Arbitration

Experienced San Francisco Arbitratior

People rely on alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods — such as arbitration and mediation — in part because the proceedings are private and confidential. Arbitration is also more cost-effective and efficient than trial.

At Bryan●Hinshaw, we have a strong background helping opposing sides focus on conflict resolution rather than on opposition. We take pride in helping clients develop creative, long-term solutions to complex disputes. Contact our law firm in San Francisco and discover how we can help you.

ADR Benefits

Creativity is an important element of ADR. As an alternative to trial, arbitration involves a neutral third party who meets with conflicting parities in a private, confidential setting.

Each side has an opportunity to present evidence. The arbitrator renders a binding decision after carefully reviewing evidence and hearing the claims of disputing parties. This is different than mediation, in which the mediator only facilitates negotiations without rendering a binding decision.

Similar to mediation, arbitration presents several benefits, such as:

• Efficient
• Cost-effective
• Allows for creativity in developing lower cost procedures
• Private and confidential

Arbitration can occur with or without legal counsel present.
