Can you provide more information on mediation and arbitration?
Both mediation and arbitration afford the parties better control over the timing and scheduling process which is not followed by the court system. Our team at Beattie Padovano has worked with many practicing mediators and arbitrators, most of whom are retired judges; they can help steer the dispute to a just conclusion. However, it is essential to understand that acting promptly is key. Many times, there are statutes of limitations, creating a time-sensitive situation. By consulting with Beattie Padovano during this journey, you’ll be well-equipped to meet any deadlines and safeguard your case effectively.
When is mediation the best option?
Mediation is most effective when both parties see the value in reaching a resolution without the aggravation and costs associated with the courtroom experience.
In what situations is arbitration the preferred path?
Arbitration thrives when parties are flexible, are both seeking quick resolution, and share a desire for confidentiality as they pursue a satisfactory conclusion with a Judge of their choosing.
What do I need to know about appeals?
In relation to the appeal process, Beattie Padovano has managed numerous such proceedings, which can often be lengthy and complex. The appeals process is frequently utilized to ensure that the initial proceedings, whether conducted in a court trial or through arbitration, remain within the permissible limits of the law. Ultimately the appeal process assures that the court has properly applied the law to the case before it.
What are the benefits of working with Beattie Padovano specifically?
Regarding the composition of the litigation team, many of the attorneys have served as clerks for judges prior to their tenure at Beattie Padovano. Our team is led by a litigator who is certified as a civil trial attorney by the Supreme Court of New Jersey, a certification which is held by only 3% of the lawyers in the State of New Jersey.
