Civil Mediation and Arbitration

As mediators and arbitrators we assist in the resolution of civil claims of all sorts, including those involving commercial disputes, construction defects, employment contracts, workers compensation issues and personal injuries.  Attorneys, litigants and judges all across the State of Minnesota look to us to serve as arbitrators and mediators in several hundred cases each year. 

Mediation is the process by which litigants meet to negotiate a mutually satisfactory settlement of their dispute so as to avoid the risks, expense and uncertainty of trial.  Our experienced mediators consult with each side in an effort to fairly evaluate claims.  Our years of experience in trying cases give us the insights and knowledge to assist in this process.

In arbitration we are called upon to decide the outcome of disputes submitted by the advocates on each side, listening to the testimony and reviewing the evidence presented.  (Arbitrators are neutral decision-makers, as opposed to mediators, who are neutral facilitators.)  This process is far less expensive than trial, and the parties can be assured of a decision that is both expedited and based upon a totally neutral evaluation of the circumstances of the case.
