When Should You Turn To ADR?

ADR may be the preferred or required method of resolution of any dispute depending on course of dealing, the terms of your written contract or previously agreed dispute resolution process. But also consider ADR when:

  1. Seeking a confidential, cost-effective alternative to traditional litigation
  2. Aiming for a quicker resolution to your dispute
  3. Desiring more control over the outcome
  4. Looking to preserve business relationships
  5. Wanting to avoid the public nature of court proceedings

ADR offers a path to resolve disputes efficiently, often with less emotional and financial strain than traditional litigation, and a chance to pick the members of the arbitration panel that will decide your dispute.

  • Educating clients about potential risks and challenges
  • Leveraging enhanced communication skills to understand client needs
  • Determining the best course of action, whether through ADR or litigation

This client-centric strategy ensures that each dispute resolution process is fully explored with the client and adjusted to meet the needs and expectations of the client.
