"Simply Commercial" - Using ADR for Smaller Commerical Cases
Litigation Alternatives, Inc. has commenced a new commercial case program which will focus on commercial cases with values of $250,000.00 and below and all multi-party cases.
The reasons for concentrating within this niche has to do with the the clear litigation cost benefits to the client that are gained by early intervention and cooperation between parties. Saving on litigation costs for clients will benefit the attorneys and their firms as well.
This relates to the economics of the practice of commercial law and the high cost of commercial litigation in general - particularly discovery. It is our belief that that a more frequent use of ADR in these cases will result in greater value added for all involved.
In addition to quicker higher (lower costs) recoveries for litigants, bottom line benefits is good business practice for commercial law firms:
I. The expedited resolution of these cases is good business for firms representing small cases for a big client or clients. Big clients want attention on their big cases and institutionally appreciate file closures of smaller cases.
II. Faster recoveries for clients along with lower attorneys' fees and costs translate into enhanced referrals and return business.
III. By spending less time on smaller cases, firms can more efficiently use their attorney and staff resources on the larger cases that will in fact be litigated.
As a result, Litigation Alternatives, Inc. is currently in the process of: 1) contacting some of the finest commercial attorneys in the area for our appeals panel; and 2) accepting resumes for the establishment of a high quality general roster of commercial mediators and arbitrators.
