Arbitration and Mediation:
One of the problems facing business owners with legal disputes is the public nature of the Court system. Your competitors can gather information about your business operations from public court filings. Customers may be dissuaded from frequenting your business if there is public disclosure of claims of business impropriety. Private, non-judicial arbitration or mediation can frequently be used to less expensively resolve disputes and prevent adverse publicity for your business.
