Alternative Dispute Resolution

Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) has proven to be an effective and cost efficient substitute to resolve business, technical, and other types of disputes.  Vandeventer Black’s ADR Practice Group attorneys serve as mediators, arbitrators, partnering facilitators, and neutrals in a variety of business and technical disputes.  Several of the ADR Practice Group attorneys serve on American Arbitration Association (AAA) and other ADR organization panels of neutrals for specific industries, such as construction, finance, and securities disputes.  In addition, several attorneys in this practice group have been certified as mediators for court-referred disputes by the Virginia Supreme Court and the North Carolina Dispute Resolution Commission. They have also acted as partnering facilitators for complex construction projects.

In addition to acting as neutrals in disputes, our attorneys have extensive experience representing our clients in mediation, arbitration, dispute resolution boards, early neutral evaluations, mini-trials, and other forms of litigation alternatives.
