Litigation can expose a brand to considerable risks, even when a company has taken the appropriate steps to mount a proactive and robust defense. While Cosmich has earned national renown as premier litigators, we also understand that trial is not always the best path forward when seeking to resolve a complex dispute, particularly for businesses and organizations determined to preserve both their brand image and their bottom line.
Backed by our formidable litigation skills, our various Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services provide clients with a strategic and efficient path to resolution without resorting to court, thus mitigating the consequences for their budget, reputation, and business relationships.
Our Mediation Services
Cosmich has been privileged to serve hundreds of businesses and organizations across the United States, including many Fortune 500 companies behind some of the world’s most well-known brands. Our attorneys have extensive experience helping clients achieve their objectives in a collaborative, non-adversarial manner, and our mediation services have allowed many businesses and organizations to avoid the risks, disruption, and expense of lengthy litigation:
- We represent clients in both court-ordered and voluntary mediations involving product liability, toxic torts, insurance disputes, and other complex commercial matters, working diligently to protect their interests and bring matters to a successful conclusion.
- With two certified mediators on staff—David Baria and Amorya Orr— our firm is also well-positioned to serve as independent mediators. Each brings extensive expertise in resolving complex, high-stakes disputes across diverse industries, and they excel at fostering constructive dialogue and guiding parties toward mutually beneficial solutions.
Additional ADR Services
Our attorneys also have extensive experience with all other methods of ADR, including:
- Arbitration: Providing binding or non-binding arbitration services tailored to the specific nature and complexity of each dispute.
- Private Negotiations: Representing clients in direct negotiations to resolve legal conflicts swiftly and amicably.
- Dispute Prevention Strategies: Identifying potential risks and implementing measures to avoid disputes before they arise.
- Drafting Arbitration Clauses: Creating highly customized and enforceable arbitration agreements that align with the unique needs and goals of each client.
Experience
At Cosmich, we pride ourselves on our ability to implement a proactive and results-oriented strategy for every dispute we undertake. One of our primary areas of focus is privately resolving mass torts before they can escalate to litigation, and our experienced paralegals and support staff excel in handling complex litigation involving multiple claimants and jurisdictions.
Our approach to mediation and other methods of ADR is guided by the following principles:
- Risk Mitigation: By addressing potential conflicts early and leveraging dispute prevention frameworks, we help clients reduce exposure to costly and protracted legal processes.
- Tailored ADR Strategies: Every client and dispute is unique, requiring individualized solutions. We carefully adapt our mediation, arbitration, or negotiation methods to align with the specific circumstances and objectives of each case.
- Constructive Collaboration: Any form of ADR thrives on collaboration. We strive to create an environment that prioritizes constructive dialogue and focused problem-solving, enhancing the likelihood of efficient and effective resolutions.
While our priority is to resolve disputes efficiently and outside the courtroom, we approach every case with a trial-ready mindset. Even as our attorneys serve as your unwavering advocates outside the courtroom, they’ll meticulously and quietly prepare your case for trial, as if litigation is inevitable. This dual strategy strengthens your position and provides us with a significant advantage over opposing counsel when litigation cannot be avoided.
With over 30 attorneys, a dedicated support staff, and coast-to-coast offices, Cosmich offers our clients the personalized attention of boutique practice with the extensive resources, national Cosreach, and reputation of a large firm. No matter the nature of your dispute, we’re here to guide you to a favorable outcome.
