Effective Mediation And Arbitration Services

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) encompasses a wide range of processes and techniques used to settle disputes outside of the courtroom, through the assistance of a third party. Attorney Glen Lindsay is a Florida qualified arbitrator and a Florida Supreme Court-certified circuit civil mediator. He is experienced in virtual mediations using a secure, online platform, allowing mediations to be scheduled throughout the state, regardless of location.

Mr. Lindsay is a highly sought-out mediator and arbitrator known for his effective communication skills and analytical insights honed over many years as a litigator and advocate for his clients. He mediates a wide variety of civil, commercial and real estate disputes.

While litigation has a time and a place, so do arbitration and mediation. There are some differences that are useful to understand.

  • Mediation: A way that parties can attempt to resolve their disputes on their own terms with the assistance of a neutral and impartial third party professional, the mediator. The mediator facilitates dialogue between the parties (and their respective counsel) through promotion of mutual respect and engagement by all sides.
  • Arbitration: Resolution of a dispute by an impartial third party, the arbitrator. Unlike mediation, arbitration provides the impartial third party with the authority to make a decision about the dispute. Similar to a trial but far less rigorous, this process is typically far less costly and less time-consuming than litigation.

To summarize, a mediator is neutral and impartial and works with both parties, offering suggestions and options. An arbitrator, while also impartial, serves the roles of both judge and jury, and makes a decision based on the evidence, arguments, precedence and statutes.
