ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION
Collins & Jones helps clients successfully mediate and arbitrate cases, regardless of size, industry or complexity, typically achieving results more efficiently and cost effectively than through litigation.

Today’s banks face legal issues unimaginable even a decade ago. Small omissions can cost thousands and even millions of dollars for financial institutions. We stay on the leading edge of banking law to protect our many banking clients from the pitfalls in today’s regulatory climate. Collins & Jones aggressively defends clients against those who try to use the new legal complexities against them.
