New York Employment Mediation Lawyer
A form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), mediation is essentially a voluntary, formal negotiation during which the parties can come together before a neutral third party in a good faith effort to resolve their dispute and reach a settlement. While not right for every employment law claim, mediation offers many advantages. It might be the best path forward in your case. Some notable benefits of mediation include:
- Faster resolutions. Courts are busy, which means it can take months just to get a court date. Mediation can be completed in less time, and clients receive settlements sooner.
- Preserve Relationships. As the goal of mediation is to reach a settlement, the process is not directly adversarial. An advantage of this is that it can help preserve relationships between the parties. Mediation is especially useful for employees who wish to/plan to keep working with their employer after the case is resolved.
- Confidentiality. Litigation is public. If you go to court, potential employers may discover that you sued a previous employer, making it difficult for you to find work. Mediation, on the other hand, is confidential. By choosing mediation, you can protect your career.
- Reduced risk. In court, the final decision is up to a judge. You could win or walk away with nothing. Mediation allows you and your employer to work out an agreement that will be beneficial to both sides, leading to a more favorable result.

Wrongful Termination
Sometimes these “Jekyll and Hyde” switches occur because a superior learned something about a subordinate that then caused him or her to have a negative bias, like the employee was of a certain religion or sexual orientation. Sometimes the reason is more obvious, like a bias against people of a certain race, being male or female, a woman becoming pregnant or people with disabilities.

How Our New York Employment Arbitration Attorneys Can Help
Another form of alternative dispute resolution, arbitration is often used to resolve disputes in employment law cases. In contrast to mediation, arbitration is not a voluntary negotiation. Instead, arbitration is essentially a mini, more efficient version of a trial. A neutral third party (the arbitrator) will be brought in to hear the case and act as the judge and the jury. Our experience with arbitration is extensive and includes a variety of venues. Many employment contracts contain arbitration clauses, which we are prepared to handle efficiently and effectively.
