Mediation is our starting point, but not every dispute needs the same process. Here's how each one works.
Arbitration is a binding process where an arbitrator decides the dispute after hearing both sides, similar to a private court. Learn how it works, when it fits, and how awards are enforced in India.
Conciliation is a process where a neutral conciliator can actively propose settlement terms, unlike mediation. Learn how it works, when it applies, and how conciliated settlements are enforced under Indian law.
Lok Adalat is a statutory dispute resolution forum that settles cases through mutual agreement, with no court fees and an award that cannot be appealed. Learn how it works and which disputes qualify.
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral third party helps disputing parties reach their own settlement. Learn how it works, when it applies, and what makes it binding.
Negotiation is the simplest form of dispute resolution — parties communicate directly to reach agreement without a neutral third party. Learn when negotiation works, when it doesn't, and how it relates to formal ADR.
Online Dispute Resolution uses digital platforms to run mediation, conciliation, or arbitration remotely. Learn how ODR works, where it's used in India, and how it differs from in-person ADR.
Online mediation uses video conferencing and digital document sharing. Learn how remote sessions may be organised and what to check before participating.
