What is Arbitration and Dispute Resolution?

International arbitration and dispute resolution is the most common form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). ADR refers to any means of settling a dispute outside of a courtroom.  ADR can involve arbitration, mediation, or other forms of conflict resolution– and it can be voluntary or compulsory.

International arbitration and dispute resolution addresses disputes between parties, companies or individuals, usually located in two different countries, in which the parties have agreed not to use traditional litigation.
