A key component of any successful litigation practice is the ability to
help clients solve legal disputes efficiently. In every instance,
Strasburger & Price, LLP believes in keeping clients out of the courtroom whenever possible and
resolving disputes before they develop into full-blown problems. Virtually
all of our litigation attorneys have extensive experience in the use of
mediation and arbitration. This experience, combined with our trial
expertise, often allows us to favorably resolve problems for our clients
well before trial. THE BENEFITS OF ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTIONThe alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process often provides convenient and simplified proceedings, speedy results, solid solutions, and substantial time savings. These efficiencies can reduce legal fees and related costs. In addition, many clients do not enjoy relinquishing control to a judge or jury. The ADR process offers increased control over the dispute and the results. Furthermore, mediators and arbitrators generally have expertise in the subject matter of the dispute. Under applicable rules, mediators, arbitrators, and dispute resolution agencies are generally obligated to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of the proceedings. The parties themselves may also agree to confidentiality. This may avoid publicity and embarrassment to the parties involved. Disputing parties who have a valuable working relationship or a
business partnership may benefit from working together to achieve a
mutually acceptable resolution to their dispute. Parties who understand
each other's concerns and develop satisfactory solutions to address these
concerns often improve their relationship and enhance their ability to
work together in the future. EXPERIENCE SERVING AS CLIENT ADVOCATESStrasburger takes great pride in its ability to effectively manage legal costs and disputes without going to court. At the outset of every engagement, we endeavor to discuss goals, fees, timelines, and options for using various ADR processes with clients. When appropriate, we recommend using ADR to avoid the time and expense of using our increasingly overburdened court system. With more than 30 different practice areas firmwide, Strasburger offers
clients the advantage of seasoned attorneys who handle a multitude of
matters. This advantage allows us to draw upon the knowledge and skills of
200 attorneys in seven different offices. Our attorneys have successfully
represented clients in literally thousands of complex disputes involving
business contracts, construction claims, environmental liabilities,
hospitals, insurers and reinsurers, oil and gas transactions, product
liability, operation agreements, real estate transactions, tax issues,
property claims, and transportation/logistics, among many others. EXPERIENCE SERVING AS MEDIATORS AND ARBITRATORSActing as mediator or arbitrator, our ADR attorneys have resolved local and national matters in the following areas:
