A bad reputation over their brands or company as well

a bad reputation over their brands or company as well as for people who wants to settle small
dispute in a much easier way. Mediation also saves time, and it works in a flexible way as the
three parties involved can fix a schedule that is convenient for them. Of course, there can be
cons as well, where least professional mediators, such as mediators who are new in this field,
can take up a case and may not be able to conduct a settlement properly. Mediators can also be
bias, due to past experience. Furthermore, mediation cannot resolute all disputes.
Next, Arbitration. Similar to mediation, arbitration occurs in a private room and not in a court. This
relieves parties from the stress of a court scene. Parties are entitled to choose their own tribunal,
which would be someone professional and has a certain degree to expertise in the disputing
parties. Unlike mediation, in arbitration, one party wins and one loses. The arbitrator could be
bias in this case as well, which could be an advantage to some parties and a failing end to
others. If this occurs, this case will most likely end up in court. Cost is a disadvantage in
arbitration as even if the dispute is not settled, the parties are required to pay an arbitrator fee, on
top of the cost of lawsuit
Thirdly, conciliation. Similar to the previous two alternate dispute resolutions, privacy is attained
through this method. A conciliator is appointed to resolve the dispute. This method bares the
same pros like the other methods. However, the main downside is that it relies on the parties
accepting the authority of the conciliator and wanting to achieve a resolution. If either of them
agrees on the settlement, it still ends up in court which results to waste of time and money.
Lastly, we have Litigation. This is a commonly used option. This can also be considered as a
competition held in court and authorized by the law, with the intention to enforce a right. Entering
a civil lawsuit is called, litigation. The pros of litigation, no biasness will be present as it involves
court decision and proceedings which are formal, fair and based on legal rights. As it is held in
public, juries can voice out providing their views and opinions regarding the case. After which, the
judge will finally make his decision by law. However, for the con, litigation can be extremely
expensive, as the parties will have to hire a lawyer, in addition to that, they have to pay the court
fees. Lawsuits also takes a much longer period of time, which could drag from months to even
years.
