Breach of Contract Dispute Arbitration and Mediation

Tempus Fugit Law recently filed for arbitration in a complex breach of contract dispute involving health services management. The contract contained a mandatory arbitration provision, requiring disputes to be resolved through arbitration rather than traditional litigation. Many assume arbitration is a faster and more cost-effective alternative to court proceedings, but that is not always the case. Arbitration can be both expensive and time-consuming, often requiring substantial fees for arbitrators, hearing costs and extensive preparation. Unlike litigation, where a judge follows established legal procedures and the rules of evidence, arbitration grants arbitrators significant discretion and arbitration parties forfeit their appellate rights.

Understanding these complexities, Tempus carefully evaluated the situation and recognized that pursuing arbitration might not be the most efficient or favorable path for its client. Instead, Tempus sought to persuade the opposing party to consider mediation before proceeding further. Mediation allows both sides to negotiate a resolution with the assistance of a neutral third party, providing a flexible and often less costly alternative to arbitration. After reviewing Tempus’s analysis of the arbitration process, opposing counsel acknowledged its validity and agreed to attempt mediation first. This strategic decision allowed both parties to explore a resolution without immediately committing to the burdensome arbitration process.

As a result, Tempus successfully secured a six-figure settlement for its client through mediation, avoiding the protracted expenses and delays of arbitration. This outcome demonstrates the value of informed legal strategy and the importance of assessing dispute resolution mechanisms beyond surface-level assumptions. While arbitration is sometimes necessary, it is not always the best option. Tempus Fugit Law’s experience in dispute resolution enables clients to navigate these legal complexities effectively, ensuring that every step taken aligns with their best interests.

Tempus Fugit’s Tenacity Proves Successful for Boston Biotech Business Litigation Client

I discovered my business was damaged, and was not sure where to turn to or what legal remedies, if any were possible. I turned to Tempus Fugit, and after a brief interview of my situation, I was told I had a case. A video meeting followed, with Attorneys Schipani and Hamdan, the key points were gathered and they quickly put together a course of action. I was hand held and assured through the entire process, as I had never been in such a predicament before, and Alexis consoled me through the entire process as we worked as a team to bring about a quick resolution. I can’t thank Alexis enough for her candidness, tenacity and professionalism. I would highly recommend Tempus Fugit.
