“Companies facing commercial disputes will often choose arbitration and/or mediation to settle those disputes. These methods of alternative dispute resolution are commonly selected in order to achieve resolution faster and less expensively than litigation,” says Shahzad Bashir, Morae Legal’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “However, as the practice has evolved, it has become more complicated, time-consuming and burdensome. In many cases, the cost and resources required for arbitration or mediation now approach those required to resolve a dispute through litigation.”
Morae Legal’s EDR service is a simple “trial by arbitration” process that eliminates the need for extended discovery and creates substantial savings for all parties by avoiding the significant time, cost and uncertainty often associated with litigation or traditional alternative dispute resolution. These EDR services will be provided by a neutral arbitrator chosen by the parties from a panel comprised exclusively of highly regarded former Texas State Court judges.
Mike Stafford, Partner at Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP, applauded this approach saying, “I tried this concept, and it was an unqualified success. Fast, fair, impartial and incredibly cost-effective. It disposed of a case that had been around for years and was expected to take three to four weeks to try. In four days it was over, and both sides felt like they had been given their day in court and that justice was done.”
