Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR") refers to various means of settling disputes outside of the courtroom. ADR typically includes negotiation, mediation and arbitration. More recently, the collaborative process has emerged proving to be a more excellent way of dispute resolution, especially in family law matters. As court lists get longer, costs of litigation rise and time delays continue to plague litigants, more and more people are turning to alternate ways of resolving conflict and disputes.

When negotiation fails and conflict turns into dispute, parties naturally view litigation as their only viable option. However, once they're in the "system," it soon becomes apparent that this route has become both extremely costly and time consuming, incurring:

• High legal fees
• Time and resource commitments to an ongoing process
• Lost productivity and distraction
• Diversion of management attention from the core business focus
• Personal and organizational stress and pressure
