Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

ADR is the process of resolving disputes without taking the matter to court. It is flexible, confidential and cost effective. For these reasons alone, many people choose to explore ADR before pursuing formal litigation, especially when they wish to maintain relationships, save time, and avoid the stress of a court battle.

ADR can be used in a wide variety of disputes, from commercial and contractual issues to property disagreements, employment matters, and more. It is also worth noting that the Courts in England and Wales now expect parties to attempt ADR methods before pursuing formal litigation. If parties fail to do so, then there can be significant cost implications for them.

Common forms of ADR include:

• Negotiation: A direct discussion between parties to reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
• Mediation: A neutral third party mediator helps facilitate communication and guide parties toward resolution, though the outcome isn’t legally binding unless agreed.
• Arbitration: A more formal process where an independent arbitrator hears evidence and makes a legally binding decision.
• Adjudication: Often used in ongoing contractual relationships, particularly in construction, where a decision is made quickly, usually within 28 days.
• Expert Determination: A specialist with technical expertise makes a binding decision on a specific issue.
• Early Neutral Evaluation: An impartial evaluator gives a non-binding opinion on the merits of a case early on.
