Arbitration often provides a speedier resolution than litigation in court. The main advantages are that it can be less expensive and more flexible for businesses, and this form affords the parties the ability to select the decision-maker, often an expert or panel of experts with broad experience with the specific type of matter.

One can tailor ADR to the parties' needs and preferences and the unique context of a matter. If applied early on, it can even prevent a dispute altogether. Customized ADR is being used to deal with catastrophic events, class actions, and mass torts. More and more sophisticated organizations invest in identifying, designing, employing, and evaluating an effective means of resolving conflicts within their organization to deal with claims low cost. Dispute systems must be thoroughly thought out and carefully constructed.
