California Alternative Dispute Resolution

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is the process of resolving legal conflicts without going to trial.  The Venardi Elam Firm advises clients on arbitration, international dispute resolution, mediation, mini-trials, and private judging.  We have extensive expertise in determining when a form of ADR is in the best interest of clients and meets their needs better than traditional litigation.  We have substantial experience and training in ADR and routinely advise our clients on the legal consequences of particular terms and conditions of all ADR options.

The Venardi Elam Firm is committed to resolving cases in an aggressive yet cost-effective manner and, where feasible, encourages clients to explore methods of alternative dispute resolution.  We strongly believe that the best results for our clients are obtained by combining aggressive lawyering skills, thorough knowledge of the applicable law, common sense, and the business objectives of the client.  Additionally, The Venardi Elam Firm provides advisory services designed to prevent litigation or work out alternative solutions short of litigation.

The Walnut Creek attorneys of The Venardi Elam Firm are experienced in a wide range of legal matters including employment disputes, insurance bad faith, consumer protection and personal injury litigation.
