Are there alternatives to going to court to resolve business disputes?
Yes, there are many good alternatives to going to court to resolve business disputes. One of the most obvious is negotiation.
Prior to commencing a lawsuit, the party should communicate and attempt to resolve their disagreements as to viability for that or the amount of the debt owed.
Also, another excellent alternative to a lawsuit is mediation. Mediation is very successful. It’s a conference in which the parties gather guided by the assistance of a mediator to attempt to settle the legal claim.
Oftentimes, mediation is ordered by the court, and so it behooves the parties to attempt to settle the case before the court orders them to attempt to settle the claim.
