Can I win a business litigation case without going to trial?

Yes, it is possible to win a business litigation case without going to trial in Massachusetts. Most business litigation cases are resolved through some form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). ADR is a process outside of litigation that allows two parties to resolve their dispute without going to trial. ADR includes methods such as mediation or arbitration. In mediation, both parties come together to reach an agreement with the help of a neutral third-party mediator who helps the parties settle the dispute amicably. Mediation may be quicker, less costly, and less stressful than a trial. Arbitration is a more formal ADR process. It includes a hearing wherein a neutral third party (an arbitrator) hears the evidence and issues a binding decision. Arbitration is more private and confidential than a trial, and it is usually quicker and less expensive than a trial. Another type of ADR, called negotiation, is simply the parties negotiating directly with each other to reach a settlement. Negotiations may or may not be successful in obtaining a final resolution of the case. In summary, it is possible to win a business litigation case without going to trial in Massachusetts by using the ADR processes of mediation, arbitration, and negotiation. These processes afford parties the chance to resolve their dispute quickly, cost-effectively, and privately, without having to go through the expense and hassle of a trial.
