Litigation + Investigations
Alternative Dispute Resolution
At Fluet, we understand that business disputes can lead to protracted, acrimonious, and costly litigation, that can undermine the ability of the business itself to focus on productive growth and future certainty. When litigation is unavoidable, clients lean on Fluet’s Litigation + Investigations Practice, thanks to our deep familiarity with all aspects of a case from investigation, through trial and appeal. However, in a vast majority of disputes, it is far more efficient to use alternative methods to address claims and defenses and to find creative solutions to resolving them.
Our attorneys are well versed in mediation and arbitration and often find that alternative forums produce more effective, binding results that allow both parties to achieve resolution at far less expense and in far more areas. As your legal partner, we aim to simply help further business goals while reducing the expense and time associated with resolving the dispute.
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.
