Alternative Methods Can Protect Privacy And Finances

Both business owners and private individuals alike can take advantage of the benefits from mediating or arbitrating a conflict. Keeping matters out of the public venue of a Texas courtroom allows each party to conduct the resolution of the dispute in a more confidential process. These methods usually yield a conclusion to the matter much more quickly than protracted litigation and are therefore usually less expensive and less time-consuming therefore resolving the concern and relieving the stress and anxiety of otherwise having it.

Which Method Is Right For Me?

When two or more parties are unable to agree to terms amongst themselves, they have three main options to help: mediation, arbitration and litigation. Each process calls upon an external party to assist, but only litigation happens in a formal court setting.

In arbitration, you and the other party select a neutral arbitrator, whose role is like that of a judge. The arbitrator will hear the facts and arguments of each side before coming to a binding decision that both parties must accept.

By contrast, the mediation process is more flexible. A mediator’s job is to help the parties resolve the dispute with a set of agreed upon terms, which allows the parties to maintain control over the outcome. Mediators are not judges and do not rule on the issues, but they will listen to each party’s set of the facts and their arguments to help make recommendations and aid discussion. The mediator does not force a decision upon the opposing parties.
