Guide on Dispute Resolution

Introduction:
Dispute Resolution refers to all methods of resolving disputes between conflicting parties that doesn't involve decision making by a third party with authority.

Importance:
Disputing parties may want to avoid a formal court system due to privacy, cost, or time concerns or may simply prefer self-resolution. Dispute resolution methods like negotiation, mediation, or arbitration can often provide quicker, more cost-effective, and confidential solutions.
