Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What is ADR?
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) encompasses various methods used to resolve disputes outside of the courtroom. ADR techniques include mediation, arbitration, and special judge services, among others. These methods are often faster, less formal, and more cost-effective than traditional litigation.
Why choose ADR over litigation?
ADR offers several benefits, including confidentiality, flexibility, and the ability to control the resolution process. It can be less adversarial, preserving relationships between parties, and often leads to more satisfactory outcomes for everyone involved.
