The process of resolving conflicts outside of court, such as arbitration, mediation, or negotiation, is known as alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
ADR processes are typically quicker and less expensive.
They are increasingly being used in cases where litigation would normally be necessary, such as publicized labor disputes, divorce proceedings, and personal injury claims.
Contrary to confrontational litigation, ADR procedures are frequently collaborative and enable the parties to comprehend each other's viewpoints, which is one of the main reasons why parties may favor ADR proceedings.
ADR also enables the parties to devise more innovative solutions that a court might not be able to enforce under the law.
