Overview:
Are you involved in a dispute? If so, you may want to consider mediation or another form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
Alternative Dispute Resolution is a process that helps parties in a dispute come to an agreement without having to go to court. A mediator or arbitrator acts as a neutral third party to help resolve the conflict.
There are many different types of ADR, including:
- Mediation: A mediator helps the parties communicate and understand each other’s perspectives. The mediator does not make a decision for the parties, but rather facilitates a discussion so that the parties can reach their own agreement.
- Arbitration: An arbitrator acts as an informal judge. The arbitrator hears evidence from both sides and makes a decision that is binding on the parties.
- Negotiation: The parties negotiate directly with each other to reach an agreement.
- Collaborative law: The parties work with their attorneys to reach an agreement. The attorneys cannot go to court, but they can help the parties reach a mutually agreeable resolution.
- Conciliation: A conciliator helps the parties communicate and understand each other’s perspectives. The conciliator may make suggestions for a resolution, but the parties are not bound to accept the conciliator’s suggestions.
ADR can be a valuable option for resolving disputes. ADR is generally less expensive, less time-consuming, and less stressful than going to court. ADR can also preserve relationships between the parties.
