What is Alternative Dispute Resolution?
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provides peaceful effective methods of resolving conflicts. Neutral third parties assist individuals engaged in conflict - find a settlement, through the use of mediation and arbitration. Alternative Dispute Resolution is a growing practice and helps individuals in a variety of fields including:
- employment issues
- commercial disputes
- landlord-tenant issues
- international disputes
- public policy issues
- neighbor-to-neighbor disputes and
- family issues
This rapid rise is primarily attributed to the desires of parties on both sides of a dispute to reach a settlement and avoid slow, costly litigation.
