dispute resolution methods

Dispute resolution methods are processes used to resolve conflicts without going to court. Key methods include negotiation, where parties communicate directly to find a mutual agreement; mediation, where a neutral third party helps facilitate a conversation and guide toward a solution; and arbitration, where an impartial arbitrator makes a binding decision after hearing both sides. Each method offers different degrees of formality and involvement. These processes aim to save time and costs and often lead to more amicable outcomes than traditional litigation.
