    ADR covers ways to resolve disputes without going to court, including mediation, arbitration, negotiation and expert determination. A solicitor practising ADR helps choose the appropriate process, drafts or reviews ADR agreements, arranges mediation or arbitration, and negotiates settlements on behalf of a client. They also advise on confidentiality, costs, enforceability of any award or settlement, and how the chosen method interacts with any ongoing or potential court action.
