ADR stands for Alternative Dispute Resolution. It is defined as the process of exploring other alternative options for resolving the disputes outside of the traditional legal and administrative forums. This includes other means of resolving a dispute rather than using traditional legal approaches. This makes the business to easy in managing the dispute and achieve a win-win resolution for both parties.
Businesses prefer these methods because these method helps them to achieve their desired solution in such a way that both parties will be in a compromised way and sees as a win-win solution for both parties.
