CS Advocates LLP has actively involved in a wide variety of alternative dispute resolution processes, practices, and techniques. Arbitration and mediation are the best known and most frequently used types of ADR. We hold the view that a negotiated settlement is worth pursuing before investing time and money in full blown civil litigation. Arbitration: process of referring a dispute to an impartial intermediary chosen by the parties who agree in advance to abide by the award. The Firm successfully arbitrated several arbitration matters. Mediation: assisted negotiations in which a neutral intermediary facilitates a voluntary, mutually acceptable settlement. Unlike arbitrators, mediators lack the power to impose a decision.
