Covid-related Commercial Disputes: Three Helpful Resources

ADR Systems

News

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically altered business and given rise to a large number of commercial disputes.

The legal community has recognized the need for alternative dispute resolution in these matters, as mediation and arbitration can provide an efficient way to settle a dispute, which allows the parties to move forward.

To accommodate this rise in cases, ADR Systems has several options that will suit the needs of the parties. Our neutrals are experienced in both remote and in-person dispute resolution and can navigate the specific intricacies of commercial law, including employment, insurance coverage, partnership and real estate.

In addition, ADR Systems’ commercial division has developed programs to maximize efficiency and reduce the cost and time to resolution:

  • The Pretrial Program offers the opportunity for attorneys to schedule a two-hour virtual mediation with a select group of experienced neutrals to help them settle matters at a significantly discounted rate.
  • The Accelerated Commercial Arbitration Rules establish a structure that ensures a 60-day filing-to-award timeline.
  • The Commercial Alternative Fee Program offers a discounted rate for commercial matters where the claimed amount is less than $100,000 and can be used for mediation or arbitration.

No matter what your dispute is, ADR Systems will help you find a way to resolve it. To learn about your options or to set a case, contact a case manager through our website or call 312.960.2260.

ADR Systems, It’s Settled®

Judge Lawler and ADR System’s Case Ambassador Program transformed a complex, multi-party personal injury case into a productive and ultimately successful mediation. By engaging the parties and carriers well in advance as part of the Case Ambassador process, Judge Lawler removed roadblocks, clarified positions, and laid the groundwork for meaningful negotiations before mediation day. His reputation for being a well-respected and successful mediator for high-exposure, high-value cases brought immediate credibility to the process, and our case manager ensured seamless coordination and communication throughout the proceedings. This was mediation as a true process — not a one-day event — and it worked.
