Alternatives to Litigation

Alternatives to litigation are ways to resolve disputes outside of court, often more efficient and less costly. Common methods include mediation, where a neutral third party helps both sides reach an agreement, and arbitration, where an arbitrator hears both sides and makes a binding decision. These processes can save time, maintain privacy, and reduce hostility compared to traditional court cases. They are useful for resolving disputes related to contracts, business, or personal issues, providing a cooperative approach that often leads to mutually acceptable solutions without the need for formal litigation.
