Insights: Events ADR Redefined

Inter-Pacific Bar Association Annual Meeting and Conference

Kilpatrick partner Thomas G. Allen co-presented “ADR Redefined” at the Inter-Pacific Bar Association Annual Meeting and Conference on April 26, 2024.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has experienced significant growth in the past decades, particularly through arbitration, settling in as a compelling alternative to traditional court litigations. However, the conventional distinction between court litigation and ADR warrants reconsideration. Perhaps it's time to redefine the divide to one between adjudication and amicable dispute resolution. Factors such as parties' expectations, the resolution process, attainable solutions, and the execution of outcomes differ markedly between these two methods. Notably, arbitration has evolved, losing some of its original strengths as an alternative dispute resolution method and aligning more closely with litigation. In our rapidly changing world, businesses' evolving expectations challenge conventional norms, prioritizing timely resolution. This session aims to redefine ADR as amicable dispute resolution, delving into various methods and assessing their effectiveness and efficiency in meeting parties' objectives.
