Dispute-Wise®Business Management The global cost of civil litigation is soaring -- and businesses of all sizes are opting for a wider palette of strategic dispute resolution strategies according to a new study sponsored by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). This empirical study in the little-researched area of ADR, entitled "Dispute-WiseSM Business Management: Improving Economic and Non-Economic Outcomes in Managing Business Conflicts" investigates the practices, attitudes, and experiences of a broad sampling of corporate legal departments from Fortune 1000 companies, mid-size public companies, and privately-held businesses in their use of non-judicial dispute resolution. |
