ADR is ideal when you want to resolve disputes faster, with more privacy, and often at a lower cost
than litigation. It’s especially useful when preserving business or personal relationships is a priority or when court delays are a concern.

process voluntarily. In such cases, the arbitrator’s decision (called an “award”) is final and enforceable in court.
The parties usually agree on a neutral third party. In some cases, a provider (such as AAA or JAMS) may assign one.

the complexity of the case, but it is typically faster than court litigation.
