Types of ADR

Mediation is one of the most widely used forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). It provides a private, flexible, and collaborative way for people or organisations in dispute to reach agreement without going to court. 

Arbitration is a private way of deciding disputes. Instead of going to court, both sides put their case to a jointly appointed independent arbitrator. 

Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE) is one of the main forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and offers an independent, expert assessment of each side’s case at an early stage.

A Private Financial Dispute Resolution (FDR) hearing is one of the most effective forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) for separating couples who need to reach a financial settlement. 

Expert determination provides a fast, confidential, and expert-led way to resolve disputes that turn on technical or valuation issues, rather than wider questions of law.

Whether the ADR resolution is reached through mediation, Arbitration, or a private FDR, the outcome needs to be recorded accurately to ensure it can be implemented. 

Adjudication in the construction and civil engineering industry provides a fast, cost-effective, and binding (though interim) decision on contractual issues, keeping projects moving while protecting cash flow.
