Before taking any legal action, be sure to consult an attorney who will provide legal advice and help determine a way forward. Typically, the dispute can be resolved through mediation, or a method by which a third-party consultant helps to settle the dispute with mutual agreement between parties. If not mediation, disputes may also be settled through arbitration in which a third-party consultant is appointed to resolve the dispute, but they have the final say rather than the parties coming to an agreement.
