Practice AreasAlternative Dispute Resolution
In addition to its reputation as a zealous and innovative litigation firm, Martindell has developed substantial experience helping its clients, companies, and individuals resolve their disputes and lawsuits outside of the formal civil justice system. We have found that an appropriate referral to arbitration can be very effective and cost-efficient, and will often facilitate closure to the matter in dispute.
All of our litigators have experience representing clients in mediation, arbitration, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. We are especially equipped to arbitrate complex commercial and agricultural law cases and have a member who serves as an arbitrator on the American Arbitration Association’s case panel.
