What Is ADR?

Through alternative dispute resolution (ADR), a third-party neutral acts as a facilitator to assist in resolving a dispute between two or more parties. It is a non-adversarial approach to conflict resolution used where parties cannot resolve disputes among themselves. The mediator facilitates communication between parties, focusing on interests, goals and motivations of respective parties to reach creative settlements. Through this process, parties can take control of the process and help craft a mutually acceptable resolution of disputes.

What Is Mediation?

Mediation involves negotiation with a third-party neutral who facilitates discussions with the goal of resolving and settling a dispute. The third-party neutral (mediator) imposes no judgment on the issues, leaving the final decision to settle the dispute up to the parties.
