Civil Litigation

Arbitration, Mediation & ADR

Effective Resolution Outside the Courtroom

The Freedman Firm represents businesses, executives, professionals, and individuals in arbitration, mediation, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). For many disputes, ADR offers a more efficient, private, and cost-effective path to resolution than courtroom litigation — while still requiring careful preparation and persuasive advocacy.

Our attorneys bring the same trial-focused mindset to arbitration and mediation that defines our courtroom practice. We understand that success in ADR depends on preparation, credibility, and the ability to present a compelling case in a streamlined forum.
