Alternative Dispute Resolution is a way to resolve conflicts without going to court. It includes methods like mediation, arbitration, and negotiation.
ADR can be quicker, less formal, and less expensive than traditional litigation, while still providing binding decisions in many cases.
ADR is suitable for many types of disputes including business conflicts, contract issues, and family matters. It is often recommended when parties want to avoid lengthy court battles.
If maintaining a working relationship or privacy is important, ADR can be an effective choice.
Mediation involves a neutral third party helping the disputing parties reach a voluntary agreement. The mediator does not decide the outcome.
Arbitration involves a neutral arbitrator hearing arguments and evidence and then making a decision that is usually binding on both sides.
