Frequently Asked Questions

  • Mediation is a voluntary, non-binding process where a neutral mediator helps the parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement.

    Arbitration is more formal and may be binding or non-binding — an arbitrator hears evidence and arguments and then issues a decision, similar to a judge.

  • ADR is ideal when you want to resolve disputes faster, with more privacy, and often at a lower cost than litigation. It’s especially useful when preserving business or personal relationships is a priority or when court delays are a concern.

  • No. Mediation is non-binding unless the parties reach a written agreement, which then becomes enforceable as a contract. You retain full control over the outcome during mediation.

  • Yes, if the parties agreed in advance (by contract) to binding arbitration or if they enter a binding arbitration process voluntarily. In such cases, the arbitrator’s decision (called an “award”) is final and enforceable in court.

  • The parties usually agree on a neutral third party. In some cases, a provider (such as AAA or JAMS) may assign one. At Elkhalil Law, we offer neutral services or represent clients in proceedings before selected arbitrators or mediators.

    • Business: Contract breaches, partnership disputes, vendor issues

    • Civil: Property disputes, construction claims, consumer complaints

    • Employment: Wage disputes, non-compete issues, wrongful termination

    • Real Estate: Lease disagreements, boundary line issues, purchase/sale disputes

  • No. We maintain strict neutrality when serving as a mediator or arbitrator. However, we frequently represent clients in mediation or arbitration conducted by others and also serve as neutral third parties in unrelated disputes.

  • Mediation can often be completed in a single day or a few sessions. Arbitration can take longer depending on the complexity of the case, but it is typically faster than court litigation.

  • Yes. One of the key benefits of ADR is confidentiality. Unlike court proceedings, which are public, mediation and arbitration are private, and communications are generally protected from disclosure.

  • Contact our office to schedule a consultation. We’ll evaluate whether mediation or arbitration is appropriate, explain your options, and help you take the first steps — whether you need a neutral facilitator or legal representation in the process.
