Alternate Dispute Resolution:
Many feel that alternative dispute resolution techniques, such as mediation, are the wave of the future as litigation becomes ever more complex and expensive. More and more, individuals and businesses are realizing that it just makes good economic sense to avoid litigation which often leads to uncertain results and denies the parties control in resolving their dispute.
Advantages of ADR:
The advantages of Alternative Dispute Resolution, including mediation, are numerous. First of all, it is a known fact that well over 90% of civil cases settle without trial. Since, the majority of cases settle eventually, it is advantageous to all parties to settle the case earlier rather than later. Moreover, ADR techniques such as mediation, can provide the framework for resolving disputes in a more creative manner than litigation allows. This can result in a substantial amount of savings in time and money to the parties. ADR also give the parties control over both the process and the outcome of the dispute, thus lending a certainty that often is absent in litigation. Finally, ADR can provide parties confidentiality that is unavailable in litigation which is open public scrutiny.
