Services Mediation & Arbitration

Creatively resolving disputes outside the courtroom through alternative resolution methods.

Kean Miller’s team of multi-disciplinary mediators and arbitrators have extensive experience conducting and representing clients in mediations, arbitration proceedings, and other creative forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) throughout the Gulf South. Our team of mediators successfully resolve disputes for other attorneys and their clients, helping them avoid protracted litigation and bring disputes to amicable resolution through the mediation process. Our team of mediators and arbitrators efficiently manage and resolve disputes involving construction, business contracts and transactions, marine and offshore energy, insurance, real estate, personal injuries and fatalities, property damage, family-owned businesses, employer/employee relationships, and financial matters.

We assist parties in the ADR process as a means to resolve disputes early and at significant cost savings. We concentrate on the law, legal rights and business interests of the parties, the complex relationships that may be involved in litigation, the outcome desired by each party to reach a mutually agreeable resolution. Our experienced mediation and arbitration team delivers innovative and efficient solutions, helping clients avoid the uncertainties and expense of trial.
