Why Choose Mediation?

Mediation is an alternative form of dispute resolution to securities arbitration or securities litigation. There are many advantages to mediation. Much of your decision will be based on the circumstances of your particular case. A dedicated attorney from our firm can provide valuable counsel about all the forms of dispute resolution and which is best for you.

Securities mediation and arbitration are both much less costly than litigation. Mediation is a very informal process wherein the mediator discusses possible solutions and tries to help the disputing parties come to an agreement beneficial to both. Mediation is completely voluntary, and the suggested solutions by the mediator are not legally binding. If one party, or both, do not accept the proposed solution, they can pursue other methods of resolution.

When To Opt for Mediation for a Securities Dispute

Mediation can be an effective option for resolving securities disputes when both parties are open to negotiation and prefer a faster, less adversarial process than litigation or arbitration. Unlike court proceedings, mediation allows investors, brokers, or firms to maintain greater control over the outcome with the help of a neutral mediator. It is often chosen when preserving business or professional relationships is important, or when confidentiality is a priority.

A securities mediation attorney in California can guide you through this process by evaluating your dispute, preparing your case, and ensuring that your rights are protected during discussions.

Looking at Your First Step in Mediation

The first step of mediation is to select a mediator. Both parties must agree on the mediator as unbiased and experienced in dispute resolution. In the first session, you or your legal representative and the opposing party will present the facts as you see them. You will then have the opportunity to meet with the mediator separately. The mediator, having heard both sides, will work with you to find an agreement that both parties approve. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) reports that 75-80% of all securities mediations reach a successful resolution.

Between mediation and arbitration, mediation costs less and takes less time to complete. Our firm has been helping and representing investors in securities mediations, arbitrations, and litigations for over three decades. We have helped many, and we take pride in our record of successful resolutions. We represent investors within the U.S. and also worldwide.

Understanding the Benefits of Mediation Over Litigation

Mediation offers a flexible and cooperative approach to resolving disputes, providing numerous advantages compared to traditional litigation. This method not only focuses on amicable agreements but also prioritizes a more personalized experience for the parties involved.

Here are some compelling reasons why mediation might be the right choice for you:

• Cost-Effective: Mediation typically requires fewer legal fees and court costs compared to litigation, making it a more budget-friendly option.
• Faster Resolution: Mediation sessions can be scheduled on your terms, meaning you can often resolve disputes more quickly than going through the lengthy court process.
• Confidentiality: Unlike court proceedings, which are public, mediation discussions remain private, allowing for more candid communication.
• Preserved Relationships: Mediation fosters cooperation and communication, which can help maintain personal or professional relationships post-dispute.
• Control Over Outcomes: Participants have more say in the resolution process and outcomes compared to the more rigid decisions made by a judge.
