At The Clever Firm, we understand that every conflict is unique and so should be the way it’s resolved. Our Custom Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Services provide flexible, innovative, and client-centered solutions to help resolve disputes efficiently while avoiding the time, cost, and stress of litigation. Whether you're an individual, business, or organization, we design a dispute resolution process that works best for your situation.
Custom ADR involves developing a dispute resolution process tailored to the specific needs of the parties involved. Unlike traditional court litigation or standardized mediation/arbitration formats, custom ADR allows for a more adaptable and creative approach combining elements of mediation, arbitration, negotiation, facilitation, or consulting to achieve an optimal outcome.
Whether the conflict is complex, multi-party, or industry-specific, we build a resolution framework that is flexible, fair, and effective.
This hybrid model starts with mediation. If no agreement is reached, it transitions into arbitration where a final decision is made by the same neutral party. It saves time and ensures continuity.
Arbitration is conducted first, with the award sealed. Mediation then follows. If the parties reach a resolution, the arbitration ruling is never revealed. If not, it becomes the final binding decision.
An expert neutral evaluates the merits of each party’s position and provides a non-binding opinion. This helps both sides understand the strengths and weaknesses of their case before formal proceedings.
From healthcare and education to real estate and tech, we create industry-focused ADR programs that consider unique regulations, cultural dynamics, and stakeholder needs.
We design strategies to handle disputes involving more than two parties common in construction, partnerships, and family-owned businesses. Our process ensures fair representation and efficient resolution for all involved.
For organizations seeking to manage conflict proactively, we design long-term internal ADR programs that empower HR, management, or leadership teams to resolve disputes internally.
We craft resolution pathways around your goals, industry, timeline, and preferences.
