Resolving Disputes With Business Mediation
Taking a case to trial can be risky and costly. While a small percentage of business disputes simply cannot be resolved without trial, the vast majority of business disputes can be resolved effectively with the assistance of an experienced attorney. At Bale & Associates, collectively we have more than 70 years of legal experience to help clients find effective solutions to legal challenges.
We understand the time and cost associated with trial. As a result, we place an emphasis on innovative legal thinking and proactive problem solving. We address disputes and try to find common sense solutions that may have been previously missed or overlooked.
Of course, we are always thoroughly prepared for the possibility of trial and have a proven record of results in our litigation practice as well.
If you need to speak with a business and commercial law attorney about a dispute that has resulted in litigation or may result in litigation, contact our law office in Westerville, Ohio at 614-895-5600.
Mediation
A common way that disputes may be resolved prior to trial is mediation. This is possible before litigation if parties can consider the cost of litigation, and evaluate the likely outcome of litigation. In mediation, an impartial mediator - typically a retired judge or experienced trial lawyer - listens to both parties and provides assistance in revealing the benefit of the resolution of all claims.
We have represented clients throughout Ohio in mediation. We consider mediation an effective and meaningful method of dispute resolution in the right circumstances. When cases can not be resolved at mediation or through continued post-mediation negotiations, we also represent our clients at trial with a thorough understanding of case facts and relevant case law.
We can represent your business or any client in a wide range of business mediation and litigation, including:
- Breach of contract disputes
- Non-competition, confidentiality and severance disputes
- Partnership and shareholder disputes
- Commercial real estate disputes
- Construction disputes
- General civil litigation and business law matters
