When is alternate dispute resolution a better option than going to court?

Alternative dispute resolution can be an efficient and effective method to resolve problems, especially when communication between the parties has not broken down.

Additionally, ADR methods are a good choice when involved parties want to:

  • Work together to find a creative and collaborative solution
  • Involve a decision maker with experience in the situation or subject of their dispute as opposed to going to court
  • Save money
  • Reduce the amount of time needed to solve the issue
  • Maintain privacy regarding the problem and solution as opposed to a more public court proceeding
