Aside from providing advice and representation to our clients, the members of the Tort and Insurance Group also provide mediation services as a means of resolving disputes, with two of its members having been approved by the Tennessee Supreme Court for work in connection with state cases and one member who has been approved to conduct court-annexed mediation in the federal courts for the Western District of Tennessee. The members of the group are also experienced in representing our clients in connection with other alternative dispute mechanisms, such as arbitration. When coupled with their extensive litigation experience, the ability of the members of the Tort and Insurance Group to successfully utilize these and other alternative dispute resolution techniques to resolve cases ensures that our clients receive unsurpassed service in the handling and resolution of their claims.
