Langella Dispute Resolution Services - LDRS

Business contracts often have what we call an "ADR" clause - an alternative dispute resolution clause. It can call for various types of alternatives to traditional litigation, but the most common are mediation and arbitration. In many franchisor/franchisee agreements, there is a mandatory requirement to mediate for a certain amount of time (one day, a certain number of hours, etc.) before a party can either sue or initiate an arbitration proceeding.

Choosing a mediator with experience in the franchisor/franchisee field is imperative. Franchise agreements are long, complex and often determinative of what the respective parties' rights and obligations are. A mediator experienced in such disputes can save the parties tremendous time and expense, especially in the preparation for mediation.

LDRS has substantial experience mediatiing complex disputes between franchisors and franchisees, as well as between multiple franchisees. For more information, visit our website at www.LangellaADR.com
