Alternative Dispute Resolution Services
At Lambert Law, we understand that legal disputes can be stressful and often require a sensitive approach. This is why we offer comprehensive Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services, designed to resolve conflicts outside of the traditional courtroom setting. Our ADR services are tailored to provide effective, private, and less adversarial solutions to our clients in Toronto and the Ontario region.
What We Offer:
Mediation
Our skilled mediators facilitate negotiations between parties, helping them reach mutually acceptable resolutions. Mediation is an ideal solution for those who seek to maintain control over the outcome of their disputes and preserve relationships.
Arbitration
For parties seeking a binding resolution but wish to avoid the formality, time, and expense of court proceedings, our arbitration services offer a viable alternative. Arbitrators at our firm are experienced professionals who render decisions after considering all aspects of the case.
Negotiation Assistance
Our team provides expert assistance in negotiations, helping clients effectively communicate their needs and reach satisfactory agreements.
Benefits of Choosing ADR:
Time and Cost Efficient
ADR processes are generally quicker and more cost-effective than traditional litigation.
Confidentiality
Unlike court cases, which are public, ADR offers a private setting where sensitive information is kept confidential.
Control and Flexibility
ADR provides more control over the process and outcome. Parties have the flexibility to tailor the resolution process to their specific needs.
Preserves Relationships
ADR methods like mediation are less confrontational, helping preserve personal or business relationships.

Whether you’re dealing with a business conflict, family dispute, or any other legal disagreement, our Alternative Dispute Resolution services offer a path to peaceful and satisfactory resolutions.
ADR refers to methods used to resolve conflicts outside the traditional court system. These methods include mediation, arbitration, and negotiation assistance, offering private, efficient, and less adversarial ways to settle disputes.
ADR offers several advantages over traditional court litigation. It is generally more time and cost-efficient, offers confidentiality, allows more control and flexibility over the process and outcome, and is less confrontational, which helps in preserving relationships.
The binding nature of ADR depends on the method chosen. For example, decisions made in arbitration are typically binding, while agreements reached in mediation are not binding unless they are formalized in a contract.
ADR is suitable for a wide range of disputes, especially where parties seek a quicker resolution or wish to maintain a relationship. To determine if ADR is right for your specific situation, we recommend consulting with our ADR specialists who can assess your case and advise on the best approach.
The duration of ADR varies depending on the complexity of the case and the method used. However, it is generally faster than going through the court system. We strive to conduct ADR processes as efficiently as possible while ensuring a thorough resolution.
