Portland Construction Mediation Attorney
If you work in the construction industry long enough, you will likely experience your share of conflicts. Traditionally, people think of going to court when a dispute arises, but most disputes can be settled with minimal conflict and without litigation. Early evaluation of disputes is encouraged to determine the most economical and effective way to resolve each case.

If you are concerned with maintaining your business relationships and keeping your projects running smoothly, consult with a Portland construction mediation lawyer from Cotney Construction Law. We are committed to providing contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers, architects, and all other construction professionals with informed counsel to help you prevent and resolve a range of construction-related conflicts. Our firm is intimately familiar with established programs for arbitration and mediation, such as Oregon’s state bar, local courts, and the Arbitration Service of Portland, Inc. (ASP).
The Benefits of Mediation
Alternative disputes resolutions (ADR) methods such as mediation and arbitration are great alternatives to an adversarial litigation process. If direct negotiations between you and the other parties are not resolved, a Portland construction mediation attorney can assist as a neutral third party (mediator) to aid in settling the dispute.
Mediation is an informal and private procedure where the mediator helps parties constructively discuss their issues, interests, and goals in order to settle the dispute in a manner that benefits all involved. Mediators do not take sides or make a decision for you but can provide objective guidance to help you come to a quick solution to your problem. Mediation puts power back into your hands to settle your dispute and allows you to preserve your business relationships. They are a faster and more economical means for settling disputes.
