Litigation + Mediation
Litigation and Mediation services are offered by the Rubino Law Group.
LITIGATION
The RUBINO LAW GROUP's litigation practice is comprised of highly qualified and experienced attorneys who are capable of representing clients in all types of general and commercial litigation, ranging from relatively simple contractual matters to litigation involving complex questions of law. Our attorneys appear before State and Federal trial and appellate courts, as well as regulatory and administrative agencies at all levels.
MEDIATION
Aside from serving as a private mediator, the firm’s principal, Renée A. Rubino, serves as a Superior Court appointed mediator with an emphasis on resolving commercial disputes between businesses. She has mediated matters involving small and family owned businesses, as well as those involving multi-million dollar corporations.
Mediation is a process in which a neutral person, the mediator, meets with the parties to a dispute and attempts to assist them in reaching an agreement that either resolves their differences or satisfactorily accommodates their respective interests in spite of those differences. Mediation can be facilitative, evaluative, or both. In facilitative mediation, the mediator attempts to forge consensus by helping the parties communicate their views and proposals to one another, and to sort out their individual interests and priorities in the bargaining process. In evaluative mediation, the mediator expresses reactions to the merits of the parties’ respective positions. This method seeks to have each party appreciate more the weaknesses of his or her position, and the risks of failing to achieve compromise. Our approach at the Rubino Law Group incorporates both the facilitative and evaluative methods.
By enlisting the help of a mediator before filing suit, you may be able to save your business a tremendous amount of time and money. With mediation, you are in charge of the process and the negotiations with the assistance of the mediator. You craft your own, legally binding, resolution.
