We hear from many clients who are unsure whether mediation or litigation makes the most sense for their situation. While our team at Jules J D'Alessandro Law, Inc is deeply experienced in litigation and prepared to take cases to court when needed, mediation can be an effective path for resolving business and construction disputes more efficiently.
Many people choose mediation because it can lead to faster results, reduced legal costs, and a high likelihood of settlement. It's especially helpful for business owners or construction professionals who want to keep a dispute from dragging on and avoid the strain of prolonged litigation.
Here are a few reasons mediation is commonly used:
• A strong chance of settlement – Historical data shows that about 78% of mediation cases successfully reach agreement.
• Faster timelines – Instead of months or years in court, many mediations wrap up in just one or two sessions.
• Cost benefits – Mediation often avoids the higher expenses associated with litigation.
• Tax benefits- The interest on a judgement is taxable, whereas the entire amount of an injury settlement is not.
If you are facing a business conflict, a construction-related dispute, or another legal issue and want to understand whether mediation could work in your situation, our team is here to talk through your options.
