MEDIATION AND ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
It is no secret that, according to various estimates, over 95% of litigated cases settle prior to trial. The rules of civil procedure in Texas and most state courts encourage pre-trail resolution through various alternative dispute
resolution procedures, including mediation. IP trial attorneys at CKPT have mediated intellectual property cases in state and federal courts throughout the DFW metroplex. Our IP trial attorneys assist clients and referring attorneys with requests for mediation or other alternative dispute resolution, in-depth evaluation and selection of potential mediators, and preparation and attendance at mediation and other alternative dispute resolution processes. Further, if a pre-trial settlement is reached, CKPT’s trial attorneys can assist with finalizing the settlement and closing the litigation.
