Alternative Dispute
Resolution (ADR)
Summary of ADR Services
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) involves several methods of resolving disputes between parties outside of a courtroom. The most common methods are arbitration and mediation. Several of the benefits of ADR are: control in the resolution process, cost savings, confidentiality and a quicker end to the dispute. Through Resolve Disputes ADR, LLC Dominic provides services as an arbitrator and mediator.
Understanding ADR
Arbitration involves hiring a neutral third party, the arbitrator to act like a judge, to make a binding decision after hearing both sides of a dispute through a hearing or written submissions. Parties can agree to a non-binding arbitration as an aid in settlement. Unlike court cases, arbitration is confidential and not public.
Arbitration
Mediation is where the parties hire a neutral third party (the mediator) to facilitate a dialogue between the parties in an effort to settle their dispute. The mediation discussions are confidential. A mediator does not make any decision in the case.
