Alternative Dispute Resolution

With decades of experience, Sperling Kenny Nachwalter’s senior litigators regularly serve as mediators and arbitrators resolving a broad range of complex, high-stakes, and emotionally charged disputes.

Arbitration

From simple disputes between two parties to cases involving numerous parties with disparate interests and goals, we excel at efficiently moving proceedings forward and arriving at the correct  outcome based on the evidence and the law.  Our neutrals have proven highly effective at working within a panel of arbitrators but are equally comfortable with single-arbitrator proceedings. We have experience arbitrating under the rules of AAA, JAMS, FedArb, FINRA, the ICC and numerous other American and International organizations and are skilled at working with rule variations developed by the parties. 

With a wealth of subject matter experience and sophistication, we are proud that members of our team are frequently chosen as arbitrators based on referrals by senior counsel at respected firms and judges familiar with our neutrals’ skill as arbitrators and litigators.

Mediation

As mediators, Sperling Kenny Nachwalter’s veteran counsel can frequently guide the parties to a resolution, taking an evaluative or facilitative approach, listening carefully to each party’s position to gain a clear understanding of its underlying motivations and concerns. We understand how to pace mediations, break through seemingly intractable positions, find common ground, and help the parties achieve an acceptable resolution. Our ADR professionals are especially effective at using their business acumen to structure creative, out-of-the-box solutions.

Alternative Dispute Resolution can take many forms and we are constantly sharing our experiences as litigators, mediators, and arbitrators to find new techniques, strategies, and approaches for resolving conflicts.
