Frequently asked questions: Dispute Resolution
What is alternative dispute resolution (ADR)?
Alternative dispute resolution refers to a variety of processes—including mediation, arbitration, and adjudication—that help parties resolve their conflicts outside of court. ADR is generally more cost-effective, faster, and less adversarial than traditional court proceedings.
How long does the dispute resolution process typically take?
The duration of dispute resolution varies significantly depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, the willingness of parties to cooperate, and the method chosen. Mediation or arbitration can often be resolved in weeks or a few months, while litigation may last several months or longer.
Can dispute resolution help avoid going to court?
Yes, in many cases dispute resolution methods like mediation or arbitration can help parties reach amicable agreements without the need for court intervention, saving considerable time, expense, and stress.
Is the outcome of dispute resolution legally binding?
Typically, arbitration results are legally binding, whereas mediation agreements only become binding when the parties willingly enter a formal settlement agreement. We can assist in making sure agreements are formalised properly, ensuring enforceability.
When is dispute resolution the most effective choice?
Dispute resolution is effective whenever parties prefer confidentiality, speed, flexibility, and control over the outcome. Situations ideal for dispute resolution include commercial conflicts, inheritance disagreements, property disputes, and other personal or contractual issues.
