While it takes an average of approximately two years for a legal issue to reach the court trial calendar and be tried, mediation and arbitration reduces the time significantly and offers important advantages outside the courthouse:

• Process is greatly accelerated, leading to timely resolutions without court delays from backlogs
• Discovery and legal questions can be addressed immediately, often over the phone without courthouse filing, calendaring, and visits and then long waits for decisions
• All information can be kept private and confidential without public records with the exception of final court orders
• Stress on parties, witnesses, and businesses is greatly reduced through time-efficient, cost-effective processes
