Small Business Mediation & Arbitration

Today, many contractual agreements contain alternative dispute provisions (ADR). Which means that in case of contract-related conflict, parties to the agreement must substitute litigation in court of law, for mediation or arbitration. Generally, the ADR process is private and much less expensive than traditional court-supervised litigation. STEVEN IVY P.C. helps small business handle ADR proceedings. We conduct depositions, prepare documentation and provide direct assistance throughout the entire ADR process.
