Alternative Dispute Resolution

ADR refers to conciliatory techniques employed to settle disputes without the stress, expense, rigidity and time-consuming formalities of the court system or in tandem with the court process.

Mediation

We are experienced in resolving conflicts through Mediation. Mediation focuses on what the disputing parties have to say and give solutions to the dispute, the role of the mediator is to facilitate such talks and ensure parties come up with an amicable solution.

The Kenyan judicial system has also adapted mediation into their ranks by creating Court-Annexed Mediation.
