Mediation is a confidential and voluntary dispute resolution method where a neutral third party helps disputing parties communicate and negotiate to find their own mutually acceptable solution, rather than a judge imposing a decision. LFM Firm regularly mediates intellectual property and commercial disputes, and LFM Firm also provides mediator services on a pro bono basis when one or both parties cannot afford to pay.
Arbitration offers parties a private and binding process that results in a final and enforceable decision. Instead of going to court, arbitration often offers a faster, more confidential, and specialized dispute resolution process. A principal from the LFM Firm can act as an arbitrator in any type of intellectual property or commercial dispute.
An expert determination is a private and consensual dispute resolution method in which parties agree to appoint a neutral expert with specialized knowledge to make a decision or offer an opinion on a technical aspect of their dispute. Expert determinations can assist intellectual property license negotiations when understanding comparable license agreements is a key issue. LFM Firm is available to provide expert determinations in any type of licensing dispute.
