ADR in Business Practice and Issues across Countries and Cultures

 "The range of tools available to resolve disputes is now wider than ever before. This instructive and stimulating book will put readers in a better position to make the right choices."
Pierre Tercier, Professor at the University of Fribourg

ADR in Business is designed to look at Alternative Dispute Resolution on its own terms as a way of resolving business disputes, particularly at the international level. Drawing upon diverse approaches, ADR experts from a variety of countries explore the situations to which ADR lends itself and the different permutations it offers to allow each dispute to be handled in the manner most fitting to the circumstances. The contributors also show how ADR serves such important considerations as the interests involved, the need to avoid a public display of differences, and the wish to anticipate problems.

ADR in Business sheds new light on the achievements of ADR and the possibilities it offers. It also helps to situate ADR amongst the panoply of dispute resolution methods now available to the international business community. Practitioners faced with drafting a dispute resolution clause in a contract, or dealing with a dispute which has arisen, will find expert guidance here when deciding which method of resolution to adopt, or whether a combination of procedures would be appropriate. ADR in Business – Practice and Issues Across Countries and Cultures, is a Kluwer Law International publication, distributed by ICC Services, Publications Department.
