Rather than trying to resolve a conflict once it erupts—whether by traditional or alternative methods—the interests of all stakeholders are better served by trying to avoid the dispute in the first place.

Major innovations in the courts and expanded use of a host of innovative alternative dispute resolution processes have made the field of dispute resolution more effective and efficient than ever before.

This high cost of dealing with these disputes is paralleled by a tremendous loss of productivity, fractured relationships and human angst until resolution is reached.
