Insight
We are pleased to relaunch our ADR Practical Guides series and accompanying Toolkit on Improving Conflict Management. Together, these resources offer in-house counsel and senior executives a complete, practical framework for making better use of alternative dispute resolution, from understanding the basics to embedding ADR culture across an organisation.
These resources have been updated and expanded to reflect the evolving dispute resolution landscape, including the growing willingness of English courts to order parties to mediate, the increasing use of ADR in specialist contexts such as employment and tax disputes, and the continuing pressure on organisations to resolve disputes faster, more cheaply and with less disruption to business.
ADR - most commonly mediation - has become a central feature of commercial dispute resolution. Despite this, many organisations still do not use ADR consistently. ADR has enormous potential to save time and money. However, optimising its use can require education, experience and sometimes a change in mindset.
Our updated suite of resources is designed to help.
