Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to a range of methods aimed at resolving conflicts and disputes outside the traditional court system. ADR offers several distinct advantages over litigation, making it an increasingly popular choice for individuals and businesses seeking efficient, cost-effective, and collaborative resolutions. Some key benefits are: (1) speed and efficiency; (2) cost-effectiveness; (3) flexibility and control;
(4) confidentiality; and (5) preserving relationships.

ADR is NOT legal representation. The mediator does not represent either party, but instead acts as a neutral party that cultivates a mutually agreed upon resolution to the conflict.
