We appreciate the importance of finding approaches other than litigation to resolving disputes. Covington lawyers have broad and long-standing experience in the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) at both the domestic and international levels. Our work encompasses advocacy before arbitrators and mediators, as well as litigation about arbitration that focuses on enforcement of arbitral agreements and awards. In addition, many of our lawyers serve as arbitrators and mediators, either by ad hoc appointment or as members of standing panels established by judicial bodies or prominent arbitral institutions. One of our energy team members has substantial experience with energy industry ADR and serves as national manager of a project on ADR in the energy industry.
