Understanding Alternative Dispute Resolution

 

While Courts and judiciary are the recognised pillars of India's legal system, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is gradually becoming a preferred method of resolving commercial and personal disputes. Be it a multi-million dollar cross-border construction industry dispute or a purely domestic dispute between husband and wife, ADR techniques are applicable in wide variety of contexts with many benefits over traditional litigation. However, many lawyers, consultants and professionals struggle to approach conflict resolution correctly and thus lack the required skills.
