What Is Mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process that allows participants an opportunity with the guidance of a Mediator to resolve their disputes by communicating with each other, sharing information, considering the other's interest and perspectives, and making voluntary, informed decisions. Mediation often spares children the destructive trauma of litigation.
What is Arbitration?
Arbitration is a process by which the parties to a dispute agree to submit their issues to an arbitrator, whom they have selected, to hear and determine pursuant to the provisions of the article NY CPLR Article 72. Arbitration Awards Offer Finality in that they serve as a complete bar to all claims and demands by either party against the other.
What is MED-ARB?
A hybrid conflict process that seeks to blend the collaborative benefits of Mediation with the benefits of finality resulting from arbitration – essentially providing the best advantages of both worlds.
What Is Collaborative Law?
Each person retains his or her own trained collaborative lawyer to advise and assist in negotiating an agreement on all issues. All negotiations take place in "four-way" settlement meetings that both spouses and both lawyers attend; the lawyers never negotiate terms of settlement except with both clients present and participating. The collaborative process encourages the participation of other collaborative professionals, such as financials and mental health professionals, to assert the parties in reaching consensus.
