As experienced litigators, Pepe & Hazard is very aware of the potential cost and delay attendant to litigation. Accordingly, we constantly explore all available avenues to reduce these factors. One such means is alternative dispute resolution or "ADR". Our litigators have experience in resolving disputes by all means of ADR, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration, private trials or any combination of these methods. Indeed, many of our clients, especially in the construction and employment fields, routinely include arbitration clauses in their contracts. Pepe & Hazard's experience derives not only from representing parties in such ADR forums, but also from being selected by other parties as mediators and arbitrators, including being appointed as Special Masters by federal and state courts. Pepe & Hazard, thus, has the experience and perspective to, where appropriate, provide alternative means to resolve business disputes outside of the established state and federal litigation tracks.
