Arbitration
The prevailing wisdom has been to avoid arbitration, but in today’s world, there are good reasons to use this legal mechanism to resolve an issue. In arbitration, both parties agree to abide by the neutral arbitrator's decision, which is final and enforceable in court. The process is similar to a court trial but less formal, with fewer procedural complexities—this means it is typically faster and cheaper to reach a resolution. Arbitration can address a wide range of disputes and is often ideal for cases that will not present well to a jury or just need a quick ruling.

I always hate it when I get a 'weak' mediator, and [Hugh was] tactfully strong in ways that I think maximized the likelihood of a deal. I'll be recommending [Hugh] heartily to my colleagues and others.
