Dispute Resolution

The best way to reach consensus

Dispute resolution, the process of resolving disputes between parties, falls into two major categories:

  • Adjudicative processes, such as litigation or arbitration, in which a judge, jury or arbitrator determines the outcome.

  • Consensual processes, such as collaborative law, mediation, conciliation, or negotiation, in which the parties attempt to reach agreement.

Not all disputes, even those in which skilled intervention occurs, end in resolution. Such intractable disputes form a special area in dispute resolution studies.

Dispute resolution is an important requirement in international trade, negotiation, mediation, arbitration and legal action.
