In today’s complex business environment, traditional litigation isn’t always the most efficient path to resolution. At Frost Echols, we recognize that litigation and trial can consume an extraordinary amount of time, energy, and resources. Our extensive experience in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) allows us to help clients evaluate and pursue more efficient paths to resolution when appropriate.
Strategic Approach to ADR
We take a pragmatic approach to dispute resolution, carefully evaluating whether mediation or arbitration might offer advantages over traditional litigation. This assessment considers factors such as potential costs, timeline for resolution, relationship preservation, and desired outcomes. Our experience in both federal and state courts provides valuable perspective on when ADR might better serve our clients’ interests.
Mediation Services
Mediation often provides an effective forum for resolving disputes while maintaining important business relationships. Our attorneys bring significant experience to the mediation process, having participated in mediations across various jurisdictions throughout the country. We understand how to effectively prepare for and navigate mediation sessions to achieve optimal results for our clients in the credit and collection industry.
Arbitration Experience
When disputes are subject to arbitration agreements or when parties choose arbitration as an alternative to litigation, we provide experienced representation throughout the process. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling arbitrations in various jurisdictions and venues across the country. We understand the unique aspects of arbitration in the credit and collection industry and how to effectively present our clients’ positions in this forum.
