Many jurisdictions require litigants to participate in some form of alternative dispute resolution program, from early neutral evalution, pre-suit settlement conferences, and mediation, to arbitration and summary jury trials. York WIlliams has encouraged clients, even prior to judicially mandated programs, to participate in ADR, as our experience suggests that these programs often assist our clients in achieving cost-effective resolution of their disputes. Our attorneys actively advise and represent clients in the various methods of ADR, and assist in developing negotiation strategies and presentations that are effective in achieving desired results. We structure the process with the ultimate goal of obtaining a satisfactory final resolution of your dispute.

A number of York Williams attorneys are judicially certified mediators, and are also frequently selected by other attorneys and parties to serve as arbitrators of claims in which we are not participating as counsel.
