Why Should I Engage a GCAAM Business Mediator or Arbitrator?
Each of our arbitrators and mediators is a subject-area specialist. Our neutrals cover the range of expertise from Delaware Statutory Trust Law to Shareholder Grievances and Corporate Finance. They excel in Business Mediation and Business or Transactional Arbitration. With histories of successful entrepreneurship and corporate law practices, they understand the risks and the rewards of small and large businesses across varying economies.
What is the Benefit of Having A Business Subject-Expert as our Mediator or Arbitrator?
The goal of finding consensus is significantly enhanced when guided by a knowledgeable and experienced expert. Our neutrals are each highly distinguished in their particular subject areas and our clients can be confident in their ability to identify the specific issues without the need to be educated on the basics of the topics at hand.
Can you Give Me An Example Where a Subject-Matter Expert will benefit my case?
Absolutely. Any complex business, litigation, personal injury, construction or domestic matter benefits from a knowledgeable neutral. One example, might be a complex construction matter. Having a neutral who can read plans, who understands the various delivery methods, who knows about construction scheduling, subcontractor default and owner interference begins the mediation or arbitration with a strong understanding of the issues facing many projects. In a court of law, the judge may or may not know anything about large construction projects. At GCAAM, you can hire a knowledgeable mediator or arbitrator who can focus more on your specific facts. This leads to a more efficient, less costly and a fairer result.
How Can a Business Mediator Help?
Good mediators use every available tool to bring a matter to consensus. Their knowledge of the industry and the law of the subject they are mediating allows them to view a situation from an experienced perspective. For example, in transactional matters, our mediators understand both the competing and compatible aspects of the business sellers, and buyers, as well as the complexities of financing and the concerns of the shareholders. This allows for efficient and intelligent problem-solving.
How Can A Business Arbitrator Help My Case?
When you select an arbitrator, you are essentially selecting a “private judge” to apply the law to the facts of your matter. Selecting an arbitrator with decades of business experience who understands how businesses operate, who can read profit-and-loss statements, and who understands contract law will more likely result in equitable conclusions.
