Alternative dispute services encompass a range of processes and techniques designed to assist parties in resolving conflicts without litigation. ADR services provide a confidential and often more cost-effective method for parties to negotiate settlements and reach mutually satisfactory outcomes outside traditional courtroom settings. The application and end-use of ADS are broad, extending across various sectors to settle commercial disputes, by individuals for family-related issues, and by governmental entities engaging in diplomatic and trade negotiations. The increasing costs of traditional litigation and a growing preference for confidentiality in legal matters have driven the demand for alternative dispute services. Additionally, legislative reforms that favor ADS and the efficiency and speed of these services compared to court systems have improved the adoption of alternative dispute services. However, lack of uniformity in laws and regulations across jurisdictions and limited public awareness in some regions are additional challenges that may limit the penetration of alternative dispute services. Nevertheless, the advent of technology in legal services, such as Online Dispute Resolution (ODR), for expanded access and reduced costs for users, has encouraged the usage of alternative dispute services. The globalization of business has also led to a need for cross-border dispute resolution mechanisms, where ADS is expected to play a pivotal role in the coming years.
