Patterns of ADR use in corporate disputes
Article Abstract:
Corporations were surveyed on the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in the form of mediation or arbitration to settle disputes with other corporations. Eighty-seven percent used mediation at least once in the past three years, while 80% used arbitration. Persistence of use is uneven, with 43% using mediation only occasionally. The data suggest that corporations reserve ADR for particular kinds of disputes. The cost of litigation is the principal reason for resorting to ADR.
