Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

At our legal chamber, we specialize in providing expert services in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) tailored to the legal context of Bangladesh. ADR offers efficient and effective methods to resolve disputes without resorting to protracted litigation, aligning with local legal frameworks. These techniques help parties reach amicable settlements, saving time, costs, and preserving relationships. Our practice focuses on the following key areas of ADR:

Mediation

Mediation is a voluntary process where an impartial mediator assists the disputing parties in reaching a mutually acceptable agreement. In Bangladesh, mediation is often used to resolve family disputes, commercial conflicts, and community issues. We facilitate mediation sessions that encourage open communication and negotiation, helping parties resolve their differences in a collaborative and non-adversarial manner.

Arbitration

Arbitration involves the resolution of disputes by one or more arbitrators who render a binding decision. We represent clients in both domestic and international arbitration proceedings, ensuring their interests are effectively advocated. Our services include drafting arbitration agreements, selecting arbitrators, and managing the arbitration process in compliance with the Arbitration Act, 2001 of Bangladesh.

Negotiation

Negotiation is a direct dialogue between parties aimed at reaching a settlement. Our lawyers are skilled negotiators who assist clients in negotiating terms that are favorable and sustainable. We provide strategic advice and support throughout the negotiation process, ensuring that our clients' rights and interests are protected under Bangladeshi law.

Conciliation

Conciliation is similar to mediation but involves a more active role for the conciliator in proposing solutions. We offer conciliation services that help parties to bridge gaps and find common ground. Our conciliators are experienced in facilitating discussions and guiding parties towards resolution, in line with local legal practices.
