Alternative Dispute Resolution
Disputes are a part of doing business; resolving them is our business. At Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP, appropriate dispute resolution is a core practice, not an add-on. Litigation may be a necessary component of a dispute resolution strategy, but it is only one of the problem-solving tools we apply to resolving disputes. As the use of ADR has grown, so too has the sophistication of the processes we employ. Effective, successful use of ADR mechanisms requires counsel with specialized training and experience. FMC has long been at the forefront of ADR development, investing significantly in training all of our ADR Group members as well as many of our litigation lawyers. We are a recognized leader in the promotion and delivery of ADR: our national ADR Group is experienced in the full range of arbitration, negotiation, mediation and settlement techniques, from local matters to national and international issues. Combined with our extensive industry experience, our ADR expertise saves our clients time, money and reputation. Even if you have retained other counsel to act as "litigation" counsel, we can add value in the resolution of disputes by using our ADR expertise in the role of settlement counsel.
