Overview
Butzel's labor and employment law attorneys actively promote the use of various methods of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Our standard approach for employment litigation matters includes consideration and pursuit of ADR upon a clients approval. We have significant experience in creating and evaluating pre-dispute resolution procedures, drafting employee arbitration clauses, and representing employers during mediation or arbitration.
Many of our attorneys are registered mediators and arbitrators who preside over mediations and assist adverse parties in reaching settlements. We are a sustaining member of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolutions (CPR) Institute of Dispute Resolution several team members are arbitrators for the American Arbitration Association and other arbitration organizations and we also serve as special mediators in complex labor and employment cases. Our firm is the only Michigan firm with attorneys that have been trained and admitted to Lex Mundi's College of Mediators, a global association of over 190 experienced lawyers specially trained to serve as mediators in diverse business disputes.
