What is ADR ?
(Alternative Dispute Resolution)
The two most common areas of practice in ADR are mediation and arbitration.
Both methods enable the parties to find amicable solutions to their conflicts outside of the traditional route through the courts.
ADR does not have the formalities that are required in the traditional legal setting. It is the parties that have control on how ADR is conducted whether through mediation or arbitration.


What is the Benefit of Alternative Dispute Resolution?
ADR allows you to forgo the lengthy process of waiting on the court’s docket or the costly court fees associated with trial. ADR gives you the power to control over the process and allows you to quickly conclude your conflict.
Is ADR confidential?
In arbitration, the hearing itself is confidential.
In mediation, the discussions are completely confidential and privileged. The mediator cannot disclose what you have discussed to the other side unless you have agreed to do so.
Neither a mediator or arbitrator can be subpoenaed to testify in court to what occurred during either process.
In essence, confidentiality is critical to a successful mediation or arbitration.
Disclosure will only occur if there is a reasonable belief that violence has occurred or if there is a threat of violence at one or more of the parties involved in the dispute.

How we help in dispute resolution?
All hearings for arbitration are set two weeks after the initial consultation. A deadline for evidence, if any, to be presented is set within a reasonable time before the hearing to be offered to the arbitrators to be reviewed. After the hearing, an arbitration award will be delivered to all parties 10 days after. For mediation, the settlement agreement will be delivered three days after the conclusion of the session. It is up to the parties to finalize the agreement or award and present it to the court if the dispute is already in litigation.
