Alternative Dispute Resolution refers to processes like mediation and arbitration used to resolve disputes without court trials. These methods focus on collaboration and negotiation to achieve mutually acceptable solutions.
ADR is often faster and less costly than traditional litigation, maintaining privacy and allowing parties more control over the outcome.
ADR is beneficial when you seek a timely, cost-effective resolution and want to avoid the uncertainty and expense of litigation. It is especially useful for business disputes, contracts, and family matters.
Consulting a knowledgeable attorney early can help determine if ADR is the right approach for your case.
Mediation involves a neutral third party facilitating negotiations to help parties reach a voluntary agreement. Arbitration, by contrast, includes a neutral arbitrator who hears evidence and makes a binding decision.
Both methods aim to resolve disputes efficiently but differ in process and level of formality.
Arbitration decisions are typically binding and enforceable in court. Mediation outcomes require agreement by all parties and can be formalized into binding contracts.
Your attorney can assist with ensuring enforceability of any agreements reached.
ADR usually involves lower costs compared to litigation, including fees for mediators or arbitrators and attorney fees. Precise costs depend on the complexity and length of proceedings.
We provide transparent estimates during your initial consultation.
