Alternative Dispute Resolution involves a process whereby a neutral third party (a mediator or arbitrator) fosters the resolution of legal disputes between parties. The process is generally less formal and adversarial than a Court proceeding. At DSV, our attorneys who serve as mediators and arbitrators assist in identifying issues, foster joint problem solving and explore settlement alternatives in a manner consistent with accomplishing resolution.

DSV attorneys have experience in mediating and arbitrating all phases and types of construction disputes, contract claims, personal injury claims, professional negligence claims (including engineering, architectural, accounting and medical), commercial claims, labor and employment disputes, securities claims, and estate and trust claims.

Our attorneys offer a number of forums to resolve claims including binding and non-binding arbitration, mediation, mini-trials and pre-suit mediation. Our attorneys are attentive and creative in resolving complex multiparty disputes involving numerous competing interests. Our attorneys will handle your case with the utmost privacy in an expedient and cost-effective manner, while striving to facilitate a settlement that is tailored to your specific situation and goals.
