Litigation Alternatives, Inc. is a full-service Alternative Dispute Resolution in Connecticut(CT)
MISSION STATEMENT
The evolution of Alternative Dispute Resolution has led ADR to be viewed today as one of a number of vital settlement tools used by the courts and legal profession to reduce docket size by aiding in the settling of cases in a confidential, fair, cost effective and expeditious manner.
When properly managed, ADR can not only be used more economically to accomplish the same goals as litigation and protracted negotiation, but even where cost saving is not the only benefit, it can even be seen as a more preferable approach. This is particularly true when complex and multi-party cases of many different subject matters can be mediated to or toward settlement.
Similarly, in non-litigation sectors, particularly those involving protracted negotiation of contracts and policy issues, the use of an ADR consultant, in addition to time and cost savings, most notably can serve to preserve and enhance relationships between negotiating parties by removing elements of contentiousness that arise. This is of even greater importance where future and ongoing relationships between the parties occur or are contemplated.
As the sophistication levels of the courts and attorneys rises and their use of ADR improves and increases, private firms such as Litigation Alternatives, Inc. have been challenged to also improve the level of their services as well.
Accordingly, Litigation Alternative, Inc.'s mission is to stay current with the times and continue to offer parties opportunities for ADR services that will add to the overall fairness and efficiency of current Alternative Dispute Resolution models and ADD VALUE for participating clients.
The theoretic means by which value is added can be found throughout our Model of Service, "Simply" Commercial, Health Care and Employment sections of this web page. In general, cost savings are achieved by a thorough examination of the nuances of each particular matter by one of our qualified ADR consultants. Using our expertise, we endeavor to remove potential obstacles prior to any mediation, arbitration or use of consulting services.
Once a case or situation has been reviewed and analyzed, we will have a reasonable idea of the viability and direction of an ADR approach and endeavor to create a critical path toward resolution. With the consent of all parties, we will then begin working with all involved to remove obstacles or conditions precedent to an actual ADR procedure or negotiation service.
It should be noted that Litigation Alternatives, Inc. supports other means of settlement provided by the courts and through private mediation and consultation when value cannot be added by using a private ADR service.
