As an advocate for Alternative Dispute Resolution, Alan feels mediation can be a powerful tool to advance the resolution of restructurings and workouts, as well as bankruptcy cases. Impasses among the parties are common; mediation offers an agile, expedient, economical, collaborative alternative to solve them. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) often fosters resolution of distressed scenarios much more quickly and advantageously than through the courts.
