Washington Arbitration & Mediation Services: Resolving Conflicts with Innovative and Cost-Effective Methods
Washington Arbitration & Mediation Service (WAMS) is a renowned leader in the field of professional conflict resolution. Established in 1981, WAMS has been providing innovative and cost-effective methods to settle disputes for over three decades. As part of the United States Arbitration & Mediation network of dispute resolution providers, WAMS and its affiliated panel members are recognized for their creative, successful approaches to conflict.
At WAMS, we understand that conflicts can arise in any situation - from business disputes to family matters. Our team of experienced mediators and arbitrators are dedicated to helping parties resolve their differences through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation, arbitration, neutral evaluation, mini-trials or hybrid processes.
Our mediators and arbitrators have extensive experience in a wide range of industries including construction, employment law, healthcare law, intellectual property law and more. They bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to each case they handle.
We believe that ADR is an effective way to resolve disputes because it allows parties to maintain control over the outcome while avoiding costly litigation fees. Our goal is always to help parties reach a mutually beneficial agreement that satisfies all involved.
At WAMS we offer several different types of ADR services:
Mediation: In mediation sessions our mediators work with both parties together or separately depending on the situation. The mediator helps facilitate communication between the two sides so they can come up with an agreement that works for everyone involved.
Arbitration: In arbitration sessions our arbitrator acts as a judge who listens to both sides present their case before making a decision on how best to resolve the dispute.
Neutral Evaluation: Neutral evaluation involves having an expert evaluate evidence presented by both sides before making recommendations on how best to proceed with resolving the dispute.
Mini-Trials: Mini-trials involve having representatives from both sides present their case before a panel of experts who then make recommendations on how best to proceed with resolving the dispute.
Hybrid Processes: Hybrid processes involve combining two or more ADR methods to create a customized approach that works best for the parties involved.
At WAMS, we are committed to providing our clients with the highest level of service possible. We understand that each case is unique and requires a personalized approach. Our mediators and arbitrators work closely with parties to ensure that their needs are met and their concerns are addressed.
We also offer training programs for individuals interested in becoming mediators or arbitrators themselves. Our training programs provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to become successful ADR professionals.
In conclusion, Washington Arbitration & Mediation Service is an industry leader in professional conflict resolution. With over three decades of experience, our team of experienced mediators and arbitrators have helped countless parties resolve disputes through innovative and cost-effective methods. We believe that ADR is an effective way to resolve conflicts because it allows parties to maintain control over the outcome while avoiding costly litigation fees.
