What is a litigation lawyer?
What kinds of cases do litigation lawyers handle?
Is there an alternative to litigation?
Yes, there are alternatives to litigation, known as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods. ADR methods include mediation, arbitration, negotiation, and collaborative law. These approaches aim to resolve disputes outside of the courtroom, often more cost-effective, timely, and collaborative than traditional litigation.
At Mistry Fallahi, in addition to strategic litigation guidance and representation, we also assist in other dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, negotiation, and more.
What is the difference between litigation and alternative dispute resolution?
Litigation involves resolving disputes through the court system, where parties present their cases before a judge or jury, and the court makes a final decision on the matter. Litigation can be adversarial and often involves formal legal procedures, such as discovery, motions, and trials.
On the other hand, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods offer alternatives to litigation. Mediation and arbitration, for example, involve neutral third parties who facilitate negotiations between parties or make binding decisions to resolve disputes. ADR methods typically offer more flexibility, confidentiality, and opportunities for parties to control the outcome than litigation. However, the suitability of ADR vs. litigation depends on the nature of the dispute and the parties’ preferences.
