Negotiation

Negotiation

This ADR technique is the most widely used and is usually the cheapest.

The process is voluntary and can be stopped at any time. The negotiation is essentially the process of persuading one side that your position is the most equitable one. One flaw in the process is that the power of persuasion is usually eclipsed by the bargaining power of one of the parties. Therefore the outcome usually will not reflect the underlying needs of the referring party.

Early Neutral Evaluation

This ADR technique is the simplest and very often the quickest. Our Evaluator will examine the parties evidence submitted. After examination we will provide the parties to the dispute with an objective, non-binding recommendation of how we consider the dispute would be resolved if it were to be referred to adjudication, arbitration or litigation.
