Alternative Dispute Resolution

Finding alternative ways to resolve issues with vendors, clients, contractors and other entities in the Florida construction industry can save you time, money and effort in dealing with contract issues and other disputes. The Fort Lauderdale alternative dispute resolution lawyers at Kevin J. Taylor, P.A., can provide expert support when dealing with problems outside the traditional Florida legal system.

Voluntary Mediation

One of the most common forms of alternative dispute resolution in the construction industry is mediation, which typically involves an independent party designated to hear both sides of the dispute and to work with the other parties to find a mutually agreeable settlement. Mediation is completely voluntary and requires the agreement of all parties to the final binding decision. The team at Kevin J. Taylor can provide you with knowledgeable mediators who can offer support and guidance on reaching the best settlement for all parties involved in the process.

Arbitration is usually a more formal process than mediation and does not require the agreement of all parties to reach a resolution. Working with a qualified Fort Lauderdale alternative dispute resolution lawyer is essential to ensure the best representation for your construction firm in these proceedings. Arbitration hearings differ from courtroom trials in several ways:

• Arbitrators can be chosen for their experience and expertise in construction, allowing them to make more informed decisions than most judges.
• In contrast to litigation, arbitration is conducted privately. Records of these proceedings are not usually made available to the public.
• In most cases, the decisions that are made during arbitration cannot be appealed or challenged at a later date. This can provide closure for all parties to the arbitration.

The experienced Fort Lauderdale alternative dispute resolution lawyers at Kevin J. Taylor, P.A., can provide you with the best representation for your side of the issue and the most effective solutions for all your arbitration needs.
