Alternative Dispute Resolution

 

“Dispute Resolution made easy”

 

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is best described as a process of solving problems without the help of the courts. The ADR process is facilitated by an impartial ADR professional who assists parties to resolve issues between them. ADR can also assist people to:

  • prevent or manage their own disputes without outside help
  • resolve their disputes earlier, and
  • identify and narrow the issues in dispute.

You can use ADR in a wide range of disputes:

  • Business Partnerships disputes
  • Workplace disputes (FWA) including FWC attendance.
  • Family business disputes
  • Civil and small claim commercial matters (under $25,000)
  • Commercial Leasing Disputes
  • Local Council Disputes
