Baton Rouge Arbitration and Mediation Lawyers

While traditional litigation in court is a common way of resolving many breach of contract cases, insurance claims, and other legal disputes, litigation can be costly in terms of the time, money and attention required. In addition to providing our clients with experienced commercial litigation support, the law firm of Perry, Atkinson, Balhoff, Mengis & Burns, LLC, also provides representation in alternative dispute resolution methods such as arbitration and mediation.

The processes of arbitration and mediation require someone who listens to the facts, understands them, and interprets them with a sense of fairness in resolving the issue at hand. Our mediation and arbitration lawyers have the skills and experience our clients look for to help them resolve their disputes outside of the litigation process. Contact us to discuss your legal concerns.

Arbitration vs. Mediation

An increasingly popular form of resolving disputes, arbitration often involves a contract between two parties to have their matter resolved outside of courts. With the assistance of our attorney, clients present their case to a professional arbitrator or arbitration panel for a ruling. While an arbitration hearing can be a more effective way of dealing with a dispute, finding a favorable outcome still depends largely on presenting a clear case that is easily understood. Perry, Atkinson, Balhoff, Mengis & Burns provide skilled presentation that adds the clarity needed to achieve effective results in arbitration.

Another method for our clients to avoid going to court is through the mediation process. In mediation, clients meet with the party they have a dispute with and they work together with the assistance of a neutral, certified mediator. Mediation allows clients to take ownership of reaching an agreement that considers everyone's interests.

Save Money and Achieve Quicker Results

Arbitration and mediation offer several benefits over pursuing litigation. They are less costly and time consuming, and clients can find resolution far quicker than the often lengthy process of going to court. Whether you need effective mediation in a construction dispute or wish to pursue arbitration over an unfair business practice, it is important to be knowledgeable of the laws involved and organized with the facts.
