Types of Alternative Dispute Resolution

Michael J. Borrelli founded the Law Office of Borrelli & Associates, P.L.L.C. in 2006. Also the firm’s managing member, Michael Borrelli litigates employment matters and utilizes alternative dispute resolutions in assisting his clients. Below are descriptions a few of the most common types of alternative dispute resolutions. Arbitration - Arbitration is the process by which a third party is contracted to make a decision regarding a disagreement between parties. Both disputing parties must agree on the arbitrator, and arbitration may be binding, which eliminates the right to a trial, or nonbinding, which leaves open the possibility of a trial. Mediation - During mediation, disputing parties discuss their issues, provide information to each other, and explore resolutions with the help of a mediator. Unlike arbitration, however, the mediator is not authorized to make a decision; the parties themselves must come to an agreement. Neutral evaluation - With a neutral evaluation, a case is referred to an outside expert to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the disputing parties’ evidence. The expert gives his or her best assessment as to the potential outcome if the case goes to trial and lays out possible options for resolution.
