Mediation and Arbitration Services

Individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations often find themselves in disputes that can, or are required to, be resolved through mediation or arbitration. Mediation and arbitration can also be viable alternatives to litigation. Dunn Carney’s mediators and arbitrators employ their years of substantive legal experience and specific training to serve as neutrals in the dispute resolution process.

Our mediators and arbitrators bring to the table experience in negotiations, transactions, civil litigation, trial and appellate work. They draw on their deep expertise and understanding of commercial and residential real estate, construction, insurance, agriculture, environmental, employment, corporate and professional liability matters to  identify issues quickly and develop creative solutions.

We draw on our deep experience to listen with understanding, identify issues quickly and develop creative solutions for resolution.
