When disputes arise in many varied settings and relationships, parties are opting to retain a greater degree of control over the decision-making process, resolutions, and costs through varied forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), achieving outcomes that would not be possible through traditional litigation. The Kitch firm is prepared to meet your needs in these situations.

Several members of the Kitch firm have extensive experience as arbitrators, mediators, and facilitators in many unique and varied settings and industries where the parties have not been able to resolve their differences independently. Our team of ADR attorneys bring experience as objective resources through years of judicial service, practical litigation backgrounds, and business law careers, with ADR specific training and certification in facilitative mediation through the State Court Administrative Office. Some of our team members are on national rosters and panels for mediation and arbitration through the American Arbitration Association and other ADR providers.

ADR services available through Kitch include arbitration, case evaluation, mediation, summary jury trials, and more industry-specific forms such as construction neutrals and dispute review boards. While available to travel, Kitch also has several offices throughout Michigan to host ADR services, for the convenience of parties. The Kitch ADR attorneys maintain schedule flexibility where possible to accommodate the parties, including utilizing in-person or digital platforms for the proceeding.

Each of our ADR attorneys understand the process–including the vagaries of the jury system–from the perspective of both sides of the bar and the bench as well as the different issues that arise in arbitration proceedings. As a result, we are well-informed when it comes to the positive and negative aspects of various forms of alternative dispute resolution.

We invite you to take advantage of how we can help you resolve your disputes and are available to discuss your needs.
