• Business Disputes
  Sometimes the idea of filing a lawsuit or facing a trial can be daunting. In many situations, attorneys may recommend to their clients or a court may order that parties avail themselves of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), which includes techniques such as mediation, arbitration and neutral evaluation. These methods can be useful in almost all case types, including personal injury, business disputes, divorce and other family disputes. ADR allows you and the other party or parties to come to an agreement that is mutually beneficial, and helps you preserve relationships and keep the lines of communication open. ADR is less formal than most legal action, is more private, less confrontational and often less financially burdensome. If parties are seeking a different kind of conflict resolution, Bunger & Robertson is here with experienced, compassionate, caring mediators that can help you arrive at the best possible outcome for the matter.
