ADR

ADR is short for alternative dispute resolution. ADR provides a voluntary alternative to the accepted practice of using the courts to settle civil disputes. The principle forms of ADR are adjudication, arbitration, conciliation and mediation. ADR is rapidly becoming established as a valued method of settling disputes quickly, fairly and cheaply.

ADR offers several advantages over litigation

  • it is neutral
  • confidential
  • flexible
  • cost-effective and quick

ADR is a consensual process that relies upon the willingness of parties to work towards a mutually satisfactory solution. It has a very high success rate and the majority of cases are resolved to the satisfaction of all parties because of the inherent nature of the process and the skills and knowledge of the mediators/arbitrators involved.
