Arbitration & ADR

 

Alternative dispute resolution may be in form of Arbitration, Conciliation, Mediation or negotiation. Because of high cost involvements and time requirements for resolving matters by way of litigation in Courts, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has gained in popularity as it offers a variety of ways to resolve disputes without resorting to traditional litigation. These include negotiation, early neutral evaluation, mediation and mini-trials.  ADR is quick, cheap and effective allowing the parties to talk to each other directly to settle their differences with the neutral assistance of a professional facilitator. Furthermore, experience shows that the rate of compliance is likely to be higher when parties reach their own agreement.
