What is dispute resolution?
Dispute resolution is the practice of settling conflicts with the option of going to the court.
ADR is the practice of settling disputes in ways other than going to court.
Everyone has this little desire to put an end to disputes or misunderstandings.

At times my methods worked out and at some instances it never did.

Arbitration
So we have two houses in the same location being sold for different prizes for they are owned by different developers.
In terms of everything the houses are the same. I bet you will go for the cheaper option.
Also, going to court is always an option but it is always costly. So if you will leverage the cheaper option you might want to use the help of an arbitrator.
This way you can resolve the issue outside the court and still save money.
We go about this by hearing from both parties and giving our opinion which is always favorable to both
sides.
Mediation
This is a process where issues are resolved leveraging the assistance of a trained impartial third party who assists them in reaching a settlement.
The purpose of mediation is not just resolving the dispute but getting the issue sorted with both parties satisfied.
If possible mediators also strive to ensure interrelationship between the two camps.
Mediators are always patient and they possess good communication skills.
Negotiation
One of the things some people do for fun is price negotiation. These set of people can move from shop to shop and price goods and services for the fun of it without getting tired.
However, we don’t negotiate conflicts for the fun of it here. We mean business and give it our best shot. We can understand the pain of our clients and so we go all the way to resolve any dispute with every resource at our disposal.
We negotiate to achieve the desired end result and this reflects in how we even go about how negotiation process.
We have decades of experience in the art of negotiation and we use these skills to your advantage.
