Mediation / Alternative Dispute Resolution

When a legal dispute arises, it’s common to assume that the matter must be resolved through traditional litigation. However, before you picture yourself embroiled in time-consuming (and often costly) courtroom battles, it’s important to understand that there are several other options for resolving the dispute. In fact, many disagreements can be put to rest through forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), such as mediation or arbitration. These forums offer disputing parties more flexibility to work through their disagreements and arrive at a workable solution without the interference or rigidity of a traditional courtroom. Paul Henderson and Connie Taylor Henderson appear on the Clark County list of approved arbitrators, and we are ready to provide and facilitate any mediation, private trials, or binding arbitration services you may need. We encourage you to contact Henderson Taylor Law Firm today to learn more about how we can help you work through your civil disputes as smoothly and efficiently as possible. 

Preserving Valuable Relationships Through Mediation

Unlike traditional litigation, in which the disputing parties appear before a judge to make their cases, mediation encourages the parties to work together to arrive at a mutually agreeable solution. Rather than leaving the outcome up to the judge to determine, the disputing parties actively participate in negotiations that shape the outcome. A neutral third party, known as the mediator, facilitates open and honest communication between the parties and encourages them to collaborate in order to reach an agreement. The mediator does not take sides or influence the outcome—instead, their role is to empower the parties to take an active role in reaching a solution. Our seasoned mediators enjoy helping parties work through their differences and arrive at a workable agreement. We find that mediation helps to preserve meaningful and lasting relationships between the parties, as the process cultivates respect and collaboration that carries over into future interactions. Additionally, mediation tends to move more quickly than litigation, making it a more cost-effective and time-saving option for many individuals and businesses.

Providing High-Quality Arbitration Services Throughout Clark County

Arbitration is another form of alternative dispute resolution that’s available to individuals and businesses struggling with civil disputes. This format also involves a neutral third party (called the arbitrator) who hears both sides of the case. However, while the mediator does not determine the outcome, the arbitrator operates more similarly to a judge. The arbitrator considers the points raised by both parties and issues a specific decision or award at the conclusion of the process. Many civil actions can be resolved through arbitration, such as settling disputes with insurance companies on various types of claims. Over the years, Paul Henderson and Connie Taylor Henderson have served as arbitrators in various capacities. We use our extensive training and experience to approach each case with objectivity, attention to detail, and fair application of the law. If you have found mediation unable to help you arrive at a workable solution, consider taking the matter to arbitration instead.
