Is Going to Court the Best Way to Solve Disputes?
Many people and companies jump right to litigation when a conflict arises, but this isn’t always the best option. Going to court can be expensive and time-consuming, so it’s not always the best option. Litigation also means the creation of court records, which could be a problem for anyone who wants to keep some details of their business out of the public record.
Mediation can allow feuding parties to sit down and talk things out with the help of a third-party mediator who can help guide the conversation. This can be a quickr, less expensive way to settle disputes, and it’s confidential.
Arbitration functions a lot like court, but you don’t have to wait for a judge’s time to free up. As a result, it’s quicker than litigation. The decision is binding too once all parties agree to go through arbitration, so no one can just keep appealing decisions that they don’t like.
What’s the Best Way to Reduce the Chances of Conflicts Developing?
It may not be possible to completely prevent conflicts from arising, but our experienced attorneys can help you make disputes less likely to occur. The key is preparing good contracts between all parties involved. A solid contract:
- Protects everyone’s intellectual property
- Makes it clear what each party’s job is and what their obligations are
- Includes clauses that ensure confidentiality and stop any important information from getting out
- Has clear termination clauses in case relationships or a project changes
- Calls for specific ways of addressing conflicts that do arise
Our law firm can help you draw up contracts that help any project go a bit smoother.
