Litigation can be an expensive, emotionally taxing, and above all, unpredictable affair. Until a judge or jury provides a final verdict, you can’t be certain of the outcome of your case. For these reasons, many parties opt to resolve their disputes through alternative means.
Not all legal disputes require a lawsuit to resolve. Choosing dispute resolution over litigation allows both parties to reach a fair resolution and avoid the high costs and unpredictable outcomes that could result from a lawsuit. Turn to Blackstone Mediation when you need to resolve an issue without the adversarial format of courtroom litigation.

Arbitration: Informal Dispute Resolution
Should you opt for a resolution out of court, depending on the nature of your case, arbitration may be the only available route. A less formal manner of dispute resolution than a trial, parties seeking this form of dispute resolution yield their control over the outcome to a designated arbitrator while still avoiding the expenses of a trial. In binding arbitration, parties give up their right to trial, while its non-binding counterpart allows them to initiate a trial should one or both parties be dissatisfied with the arbitrator’s decision.
