Not every legal conflict needs to end up in a courtroom. In many cases, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) offers a faster, more private, and more cost-effective way to resolve disputes, without the stress and public nature of litigation.

At Prowse Barrette LLP, we help individuals and businesses find the right approach based on their unique situation. Whether you’re dealing with a contract issue, workplace conflict, or family matter, ADR can provide clarity and control at every stage.

Here are three strategic paths to consider:

1. Choose arbitration for a faster, binding resolution
Arbitration is a structured process where a neutral third party hears both sides and makes a legally binding decision. It’s typically quicker than going to court and allows for more privacy. It’s a strong choice when both parties want finality without lengthy delays.

2. Choose mediation to find common ground
Mediation is a collaborative process guided by a skilled mediator who helps both parties communicate, explore options, and reach a voluntary agreement. It’s ideal for disputes where relationships matter, and a mutually agreed-upon outcome is preferred.

3. Select the right approach based on your goals
Each process has its strengths. Arbitration offers a definitive ruling, while mediation encourages flexibility and cooperation. We work with you to understand your priorities and recommend the best path forward, tailored to your needs, values, and desired outcome.

Whether you’re seeking a practical solution, protecting your privacy, or looking to avoid a lengthy court battle, ADR may be the right fit.
