In today’s economy, clients may need to control legal expenses more than ever and wish to resolve conflicts quickly. Litigation can be costly and time-consuming. Alternative Dispute Resolution appeals to clients who are ready to work toward resolving a dispute, and is often mandated by the courts. Successful ADR requires an arbitrator or mediator with sufficient expertise and ability to assess both sides of a dispute in a fair and reasoned manner. Jack Sartore of Paul Frank + Collins has the depth and breadth of civil litigation experience to bring fast and fair resolution to the conflict in which you or your client are currently immersed.

Mediation and Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE):

There are two sides to every story and a neutral third party mediator can be effective in facilitating a discussion to help parties reach a practical and lasting resolution to the dispute. A successful mediation can resolve conflicts in a matter of hours rather than tens or hundreds of hours of litigation. Mediation is confidential and puts the parties in control of resolving their dispute in contrast to a public courtroom where mandates are issued by judges and juries.

Arbitration:

Commercial disputes are commonly resolved outside the courts through arbitration. Parties may agree to have an objective third party arbitrator hear the matter and make a decision about how parties should resolve the conflict. Arbitration can be either binding or non-binding and is often cheaper and faster than litigation in court. Conflicts with highly technical subject matter are often suitable for arbitration. Jack Sartore has handled some of the most complex kinds of civil litigation matters in Vermont for both plaintiffs and defendants. His experience and expertise in many areas make him a suitable arbitrator when both sides are willing to resolve conflict outside the courtroom.
