Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to a range of methods and processes used to resolve conflicts or disputes between parties outside of the traditional court system. It offers an alternative to litigation, which involves taking a dispute to court and having a judge or jury make a binding decision.

The main objective of ADR is to facilitate the resolution of disputes in a more efficient, cost-effective, and collaborative manner. It emphasizes finding mutually acceptable solutions and maintaining or repairing relationships between the parties involved. ADR methods are often more informal and flexible than litigation, allowing for greater control and participation from the disputing parties.
