Litigation + Investigations
Mediation, Arbitration, + Other ADR
Fluet’s attorneys represent clients in mediation, arbitration, and alternative dispute resolution proceedings across federal, state, and international forums. We help clients evaluate when ADR offers strategic advantages over traditional litigation—including speed, confidentiality, cost efficiency, and preservation of business relationships—and execute ADR strategies that advance business objectives while managing risk and expense.
With deep knowledge of government contracts law and national security matters, we understand when ADR provides unique advantages in disputes involving classified information, sensitive procurement issues, or ongoing contractor-government relationships. Our experience includes representing defense contractors, federal agencies, and commercial entities in ADR proceedings where maintaining security clearances, protecting proprietary information, and preserving critical business relationships are as important as the legal outcome itself.
Fluet lawyers have guided a wide variety of clients through:
- Federal and state court mediation, both court-ordered and voluntary in nature, before settlement and magistrate judges.
- Screening, selecting and successfully appearing before private mediators, selected either through contract language between the parties or at their consent.
- Voluntary and contractually required federal, state and international arbitration procedures before a wide variety of arbitrators and arbitration associations including the American Arbitration Association (AAA), Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (JAMS), and many others.
- Federal, State and International Agency Mediations, both voluntary and contractual.
