Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Services

Clergy and Wisemen LLP offers comprehensive Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services, providing clients with efficient and confidential methods to resolve disputes outside the traditional court system. With expertise in arbitration, mediation, negotiation, and conciliation, we offer flexible solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of businesses and individuals.

​

Our Expertise in ADR Methods

1. Arbitration: Our team handles both domestic and international arbitration, helping clients resolve complex commercial disputes through a neutral process. With in-depth knowledge of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, and experience across key arbitration institutions, we ensure swift and enforceable awards. We also assist in navigating international arbitrations governed by rules such as the New York Convention for cross-border enforceability.

2. Mediation: Mediation allows for a more collaborative approach, where parties are guided by a neutral mediator towards a mutually acceptable resolution. We help clients in domestic and international mediations, especially in commercial, family, and employment disputes, fostering an environment where relationships can be preserved while finding practical solutions.

3. Negotiation: Our lawyers are skilled in structured negotiations, where parties resolve disputes directly without third-party intervention. This approach is ideal for reaching fast, cost-effective settlements while retaining full control over the outcome.

4. Conciliation: As a flexible ADR method, conciliation offers a neutral third party to assist in settling disputes. We guide clients through conciliation, particularly in matters involving business agreements and contractual issues, providing expert advice throughout the process.

Advantages of ADR

• Confidentiality: ADR processes are private, ensuring that sensitive business information remains secure and protected from public exposure.

• Cost-Effectiveness: ADR is typically less costly than prolonged litigation, offering clients a faster resolution without the expenses associated with court proceedings.

• Time-Efficiency: Disputes resolved through ADR are often concluded more quickly than through traditional litigation, allowing parties to focus on their business or personal interests without prolonged distractions.

• Flexibility and Party Autonomy: ADR processes offer greater flexibility, allowing parties to choose the rules, procedures, and even the location of the resolution. This autonomy makes ADR a preferred method for resolving disputes on mutually agreeable terms.
