Mediation: A Tale of Two Studies
Robert Ezra, Esq. | Tuesday, June 24, 2014
The power of mediation to resolve disputes is well known in legal circles, but it is not as familiar to the fashion industry. As a former garment-business owner myself, I started Fashion Dispute Resolution because I saw a need in the apparel and textile industries to give business owners a way to resolve their differences in a less costly and time-consuming manner as opposed to the court process.
Mediation is a consensual agreement requiring both parties to agree to the process. The cases that come to FDR often fall into one of two categories: disputes that are driven by emotion more than legal issues and disputes that are based in legal issues where emotion is less of a factor.
