What is Alternative Dispute Resolution?
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) covers a range of methods that let parties resolve disagreements outside of the courtroom.
Arbitration: A neutral third party decides the case, and the decision is usually final.
Mediation: A mediator helps both sides talk, find common ground, and reach a voluntary agreement.
Negotiation: Direct discussions between parties to resolve issues without formal proceedings.
ADR is private, less confrontational, and usually far more efficient than traditional litigation.
Why does Alternative Dispute Resolution Matter?
Legal disputes can drag on for years, costing money and damaging relationships. ADR offers a smarter alternative, confidential, cooperative, and quicker to resolve. For businesses, it means less downtime and more focus on what truly matters: running your operations smoothly.
