Rudman Winchell offers a wide range of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services. Mediation is the most common form used in Maine, where most state court cases are subject to mandatory ADR. ADR benefits include confidentiality, informality, and settlement negotiations in a relaxed setting where the parties control the outcome. Conflict resolution through mediation is also less expensive when compared to litigation and trial.

Several Rudman Winchell attorneys regularly act as mediators in civil cases. Rudman Winchell’s alternative dispute resolution services are provided by experienced trial lawyers who understand the uncertainty of trial results and the advantages of settlement. Tort claims, business disputes, real estate disputes, employment claims, and family law are all areas that may benefit from our services.
