What is dispute resolution, and when is it appropriate?

Dispute resolution involves resolving conflicts or disagreements between two or more parties without resorting to litigation. It often involves various methods to reach a mutually acceptable outcome, such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and conciliation. Litigation is often costly and time-consuming — dispute resolution is a more efficient and cost-effective resort to traditional court proceedings.

Dispute resolution is generally appropriate in situations when:

• Parties want to avoid the time, cost, and stress of litigation
• Parties desire a more flexible and confidential process
• Parties aim to maintain relationships or avoid damaging public perception
• Parties believe that a negotiated solution is more likely to address their underlying interests
• The dispute is complex or involves multiple parties

However, it is important to note that some disputes may be better suited for litigation, such as those involving serious criminal offenses or constitutional matters.
