Generally, information shared during ADR is confidential and inadmissible in court. This encourages open communication during ADR. However, specific rules and exceptions might apply depending on the jurisdiction and type of ADR.
Litigation often takes significantly longer than ADR due to court schedules, procedural rules, and potential appeals. ADR can often be completed in a matter of weeks or months.
If ADR doesn't result in a settlement, parties can explore other options, including pursuing litigation through the court system. The efforts made during ADR can still be valuable in informing subsequent legal proceedings.
ADR is often more cost-effective than litigation due to its faster resolution time and less formal processes. However, costs can vary depending on factors like the chosen ADR method, the complexity of the dispute, and the need for legal representation.
Preparing for an ADR session involves understanding the chosen process, identifying desired outcomes, gathering relevant information, and approaching the session with a willingness to communicate and explore potential solutions.
