Product Information

Litigation is slow, expensive, and damaging. Yet many disputes end up in court because ADR is misunderstood or poorly structured. This session explains how mediation and arbitration work in real disputes and when they make sense. It also explains why ADR sometimes fails and leads back to litigation anyway. Understanding ADR changes how disputes are approached, how contracts are reviewed, and how losses are limited before relationships collapse.
