Nassau, Bahamas – Thirty
five year veteran attorney Caryl A. E. Lashley, and Reno A. W. Miller, accountant of 12 years, both obtained the advanced
certificate in Trust and Estate Mediation and lead the way in the country’s trained professionals for Alternative Dispute
Resolution (ADR) cases.
These ADR professionals are founding members of ADR Bahamas, executive members
of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, Bahamas Branch, as well as members
of the STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) Bahamas Branch.
“All disputes must be resolved in a most efficient and
cost-effective manner,” says Lashley, accredited Arbitrator and Mediator and
Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. “ADR can
assist in moving out the number of matters tied up in the Court
system."
ADR Bahamas offers relief to our strained Court system
as, “people from all walks of life are irritated by the delays and
time-wasting in our litigation
process,” comments
Lashley. “Our business community and our family community both need a process
whereby matters are resolved with
the loss of as little time
as possible,” says Miller.
Mrs. Lashley confirms
that in many instances the Court system is not practical, nor is it
speedy; there is no confidentiality, and delays are
inevitable. Matters take years to be determined, and do not always produce
desired results. Confidence, certainty, stability, privacy, fairness and
efficiency give Arbitration value in every sphere of commerce. Flexibility,
speed, confidentiality, resourcefulness, cost-effectiveness, and maintenance of
relationships give Mediation value in every aspect of life.
ADR is available for all, and the public must be informed. Mrs.
Lashley encourages all to get familiar with this process by visiting
adrbahamas.org. “The business and professional sectors are ready to go this
route; architects, accountants, engineers,
attorneys, bankers, insurance and other executives, and many leaders in other
fields of endeavour are trained and properly accredited in ADR. We can
facilitate the financial services and maritime sectors, with confidence, professionalism, speed, and
confidentiality. Our country is
finally ready!” concludes Miller.
