Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) is a rapidly growing area of practice in the profession in general and for Madorin Snyder LLP in particular.
ADR compares favourably to traditional civil litigation. Firstly, ADR alternatives tend to be faster and less expensive than litigation. Secondly, since ADR is less adversarial than litigation, it tends to preserve ongoing relationships. Thirdly, mediation and collaborative dispute resolution allow the parties to craft their own resolutions to the conflict. In disputes involving more than money, negotiated solutions tend to be more satisfying for the parties. Fourthly, arbitrations allow parties to resolve their dispute without airing their dirty laundry or confidential information in public.
The demand for ADR is particularly strong in the Region of Waterloo where a shortage of judges has exacerbated the traditional disadvantages of litigation.
Madorin, Snyder LLP is filling the gap. The members of our ADR Practice Group have the legal expertise, training, and common sense required to make ADR process work.
