Colorado Mediators & Arbitrators LLC dba CoMA is a dispute resolution forum specializing in business and commercial matters. The forum is well organized and less expensive than most national forums. Our panel members are seasoned and accomplished in their respective professions and dedicated to prompt, cost-effective, and confidential resolution. CoMA's arbitrators often serve on multiple arbitration panels, and are therefore familiar with utilizing a variety of procedural rules.
MEDIATION is the preferred form of business and contract negotiation to resolve disputes. Mediation gives parties control over the outcome. Approximately 85-90% of parties who mediate come to voluntary agreement.
ARBITRATION provides a binding award. CoMA is a boutique forum that emphasizes the traditional principles of arbitration: less cost, less formality, expeditious time frames. We currently do not administer initial claims that exceed $1,000,000 at this time.
MED-ARBITRTION is a new option offered by Colorado Mediators & Arbitrators LLC. When voluntarily and unanimously elected by the parties, Med-Arbitration allows for a formal process to negotiate a settlement prior to having a binding decision imposed.
How is CoMA different than other forums?
Less Expensive - Save hundreds of dollars in administrative fees.

Fair - We demonstrate fairness and neutrality from beginning to end. While other well known national forums require the entire administrative costs be born by the claimant (putting additional financial stress on the one initiating resolution), CoMA's lower administrative fees are evenly divided between the claimant and respondent.
Familiar - Each state has its own laws and guidelines for arbitration and mediation conducted in that state. CoMA has administrative procedures built to address the unique requirements of Colorado's standards.
