What We Do

In mediation, one of McCarthy Fingar’s trained mediators first guides each participant to better understand and clarify their own concerns and those of the other. If mediation fails to bring a solution, arbitration is sometimes chosen as the best alternative to litigation in the court system. In arbitration, the parties agree to permit a third-party to make a binding decision to resolve the controversy. These two process are combined in Med/Arb, where the parties first work towards a mutually acceptable outcome, but then the neutral issues a final binding decision when they are unable to agree.
