Areas of Practice
Employment
Employment relationships can create both mutual benefit and difficult conflict. Our RainierADR neutrals have faced employment controversies of all types and in a variety of industries. We recognize the unique dynamics driving employment disputes and help the parties focus on a new path, either separately or together.
Labor
Unions and employers can work together and be at odds, often at the same time. Through negotiations, mediations, and arbitrations, we have resolved difficult collective bargaining disputes and complex, contentious grievance proceedings.
CIVIL Litigation
Litigation is sometimes necessary, but exploration of possible alternatives before a trial will often provide a more satisfactory and creative result.
