It
may be surprising to learn, but the vast
majority of cases in litigation never make it to
trial. While every litigant must be prepared to
bring a case to judge or jury, the fact is, most
cases resolve through negotiation, mediation or
arbitration before either side steps foot in a
court room. More and more businesses are
relying on mandatory arbitration clauses to
resolve employment disputes. Why? Because
trials can be expensive, distracting, time
consuming and unpredictable.
Plaintiffs and
Defendants, Employers and Employees, Insurance
Companies and Victims of Injury, all find they
can better control the outcome of their case
while minimizing the time, cost and stress
associated with trial through skillful
implementation of negotiation and mediation.
Attorney Rice
is not only an experienced advocate but she also
serves as a mediator for the New Hampshire Human
Rights Commission and Judicial Branch. Having
sat on both sides of the mediation table has
helped her bring valuable perspective and
understanding to the process and most
importantly, for the prompt and mutually
beneficial resolution of the matter to the
parties.
