What is Alternative Dispute Resolution?

Alternative Dispute Resolution (known as ADR) which includes Arbitration, Mediation and other creative processes is usually a speedier, cost effective and more pleasant way to resolve disputes than a trial in court. We promote ADR with the message ADR Works. We often use ADR to settle our own cases and act as Mediators and Arbitrators in others. Trial in court is a costly and risky process which we see as necessary in some cases but usually not the best way to proceed.
