Parties can work together to find a solution that works for both sides through alternative dispute resolution (ADR). ADR processes, such as mediation or arbitration, allow parties to resolve disputes outside of the court system by working together to find a mutually acceptable solution. A trained neutral third-party facilitates the process and helps parties communicate effectively and reach a resolution that is fair and satisfactory for both sides. ADR can be faster, less expensive, and less adversarial than traditional litigation, and it allows parties to maintain more control over the outcome of their dispute.
