The business environment in Egypt witnesses a remarkable development. Therefore, businesses and individuals are seeking more rapid, effective, and affordable methods to resolve conflicts. The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is deemed a strategic alternative to conventional judicial proceedings, as it provides personalized solutions purpose-built to protect business interests, minimize time and costs, and maintain commercial relationships.
At Sadany & Partners Law Firm, we deliver top-tier ADR services in Egypt, assisting clients in resolving disagreements through negotiation, conciliation, arbitration, and other innovative methods.
What is Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)?
The Alternative Dispute Resolution indicates multiple ways for terminating the conflicts without taking the litigation journey, and it involves various procedures, the most common of which are:
- Negotiation: Direct dialogue between the disputing parties to find a solution to the dispute that satisfies all parties.
- Mediation: If the parties fail to reach a settlement, they can appoint a neutral mediator to assist them in reaching a mutually agreed-upon solution.
- Arbitration: The objective of arbitration is to settle the dispute in a fast-track process, and the arbitrator (or arbitration panel) issues the arbitration award after considering the evidence, arguments, and presumptions.
- Conciliation: Conciliation is similar to mediation in terms of formality and is often employed in business and labor conflicts.
ADR is characterized by its flexibility, confidentiality, and effective problem-solving, which the courts often lack.
Why ADR is a Strategic Choice for Resolving Disputes?
ADR methods have many significant benefits, including:
- Secrecy: ADR procedures are conducted in private sessions, which prevent disclosure or publication of private, commercial, and personal information to the public.
- Affordable Cost: The costs, fees, and expenses incurred in ADR are generally lower than those incurred in court litigation.
- Quickness: ADR proceedings are faster than conventional litigation, as conflicts are often settled within weeks or months, rather than years, as may occur in litigation.
- Continuation of Relationships: ADR is a cooperation-based process. Thus, companies or individuals can maintain the relationships intact, even after the settlement of the disagreement.
- Stronger Monitoring: The parties are empowered to choose their decision-makers, proceedings, and outcomes.
