Your Trusted Legal Partner For Alternative Workplace Dispute Resolution
At Anticouni & Ricotta, we are well-versed in alternative dispute resolution methods, including mediation and arbitration. These processes can often resolve employment disputes more efficiently and cost-effectively than traditional litigation.
Mediation: A Path To Collaborative Solutions
Mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral third party facilitates negotiations between disputing parties. This approach offers several advantages, such as the following:
- Confidentiality: Discussions remain private, protecting both parties’ interests.
- Cost-effectiveness: Mediation is typically less expensive than litigation.
- Flexibility: Parties have more control over the outcome.
- Preservation of relationships: The collaborative nature of mediation can help maintain professional relationships.
These benefits make mediation an attractive option for many employment disputes, potentially leading to mutually satisfactory resolutions without the need for costly court proceedings.
Our Approach To Mediation

By representing both employees and employers, we bring a comprehensive understanding to each mediation, enhancing our ability to facilitate effective resolutions.
The Arbitration Process: What You Need To Know
Arbitration is a more formal alternative to litigation, and an arbitrator or panel makes the binding decision. Key aspects include:
- Faster resolution: Arbitration often concludes more quickly than court proceedings.
- Limited discovery: This can reduce costs but may also limit information gathering.
- Finality: Arbitration decisions are usually binding with limited grounds for appeal.
While arbitration has its advantages, it’s crucial to understand its implications fully before proceeding, which is where we can provide valuable guidance.
