Arbitration, Mediation & Alternative Dispute Resolution
For many disputes, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, including arbitration and mediation, are the preferred path to resolution. These non-judicial mechanisms are popular for several reasons: they are more private, cost-effective, and time-efficient than traditional court proceedings and litigation. ADR can also be helpful in maintaining or strengthening important business relationships. Mediation in particular, as a less adversarial option, is beneficial when there needs to be an ongoing relationship between parties.
