Dispute Avoidance

Dispute Avoidance

Preventing disputes is as important as resolving them. Early identification of risks and proactive conflict management can preserve relationships, reduce financial and reputational costs, and enable parties to focus on their core objectives rather than adversarial proceedings.
The ADR Centre promotes dispute avoidance by helping organisations and individuals embed conflict-management mechanisms at the earliest stages of engagement. This includes advisory support on dispute avoidance clauses, early neutral evaluation, structured negotiation frameworks, and ongoing relationship management tools. By addressing issues before they escalate, the Centre helps parties avoid formal disputes altogether or resolve them at a very early stage.
