OUR SERVICES
WHAT WE DO
MEDIATION
Mediation is a collaborative and confidential process where a neutral third party, the mediator, helps individuals or organizations resolve disputes through open dialogue. At Rice Dispute Solutions, mediation provides a structured environment where parties can express their concerns, identify common interests, and explore mutually beneficial solutions. Unlike court proceedings, mediation empowers clients to maintain control over the outcome, fostering voluntary agreements that are fair and tailored to their unique circumstances. This process is especially beneficial for those seeking to preserve relationships, whether in the workplace or in family matters, as it encourages communication, collaboration, and understanding.
ARBITRATION
Arbitration is a more formal dispute resolution process in which a neutral arbitrator hears both sides of the argument and makes a binding decision. It is similar to a court proceeding but often faster, more cost-effective, and confidential. At Rice Dispute Solutions, we offer arbitration services to clients who need a definitive resolution but prefer to avoid the lengthy and public nature of traditional litigation. With expertise in employment and family law, we provide an efficient, legally sound process that ensures all parties are heard and the dispute is resolved in a timely, equitable manner.
