ADR includes methods such as mediation and arbitration that resolve disputes outside traditional court settings. These methods are typically faster, less formal, and less costly.
ADR aims to provide more flexibility, confidentiality, and control to the parties involved compared to litigation, making it a preferred option for many types of disputes.
Mediation involves a neutral third party facilitating discussion to help both sides reach a voluntary agreement. It is collaborative and non-binding unless an agreement is reached.
Arbitration, on the other hand, involves a neutral arbitrator who hears both sides and then makes a binding decision, similar to a private judge outside the court system.
ADR can save time and reduce legal expenses compared to traditional litigation. It also preserves privacy and often maintains better relationships between parties.
Because ADR is less formal and more flexible, it can be tailored to the needs of the parties, helping to achieve mutually agreeable solutions more efficiently.
