AREAS OF PRACTICE
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is the process of resolving legal conflicts without going to trial. Torshen, Slobig & Axel, Ltd. is in the forefront of this area, advising clients on arbitration, international dispute resolution, mediation, mini-trials, and private judging. We have extensive experience in determining when a form of ADR is in the best interest of our clients and meets their needs better than traditional litigation. We have substantial experience and training in ADR and routinely advise our clients on the legal consequences flowing from particular terms and conditions of all ADR options. We have represented parties both in arbitration and mediation and in appeals following arbitration decisions.
