Mitigating Conflict Through Alternative Dispute Resolution

Alternative Dispute Resolution: Better Conversations, Faster Solutions, Stronger Relationships.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) helps people and businesses solve conflicts without going to court. Through flexible, guided processes like mediation, arbitration, and facilitation, ADR focuses on better communication, faster solutions, and rebuilding trust.
What Is Mediation?
Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party facilitates communication between parties to resolve their differences. It is a great option for individuals or businesses seeking alternatives to the traditional justice system.
The process is completely voluntary. Each mediation is tailored to the parties’ specific issues and goals. In mediation, a neutral mediator helps the disputing parties resolve conflicts through the use of specialized communication and negotiation techniques.
Through this process, trained volunteer mediators help guide parties toward mutually agreeable resolutions. They also assist in restoring peace and harmony and rebuilding relationships.
