What Is Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)?

Mediation (ADR) is a voluntary, confidential process in which a neutral third-party mediator facilitates communication between disputing parties to help them reach a mutually acceptable agreement—without a judge, trial, or courtroom.

Unlike litigation, mediation:

  • Avoids prolonged legal proceedings

  • Reduces financial and emotional cost

  • Preserves confidentiality

  • Allows parties to maintain control over outcomes

  • Often resolves disputes in days or weeks, not months or years

Studies consistently show that over 80% of mediated cases reach agreement, making Private dispute resolution one of the most effective forms of conflict resolution available today.
