ICAM ADR SERVICES
ICAM's approach is unique, both in terms of our support and your results. We provide a variety of services to guide you in resolving your conflicts and disputes. Arbitration and mediation is available to individuals, businesses and institutions, and almost any type of dispute can be resolved successfully through ADR.
ARBITRATION
Arbitration is a non-judicial process for the settlement of disputes where an independent third-party, an arbitrator, makes a binding decision. The role of an arbitrator is similar to that of a judge, though the procedures are less formal, and arbitrators are often an expert in their own right.
​
This process can be tailored to suit parties’ particular needs. Speedier and cheaper than court, arbitration is confidential and offers limited grounds for appeal. This provides a finality to the awards made, which are binding and enforceable through the courts.
MEDIATION
A core principle of mediation is that the parties ‘control’ the outcome, rather than having it imposed upon them. The mediator will facilitate dialogue and communication between the parties in a structured way, assisting them to reach a voluntary settlement. The mediator has no decision-making power; therefore, the dispute is resolved on the parties’ own terms.
​
Speedy, confidential, and a less adversarial process, mediation can be used to solve a variety of disputes. The process is non-binding and allows for settlements suited to situations where parties want to preserve the relationship.
NOMINATION AUTHORITY
Effective alternative dispute resolution depends on speedy and affordable access to professional mediators that we provide to parties in need of this service, in matters both inside and outside the realm of litigation.
ICAM can help organizations to establish a dispute-resolution strategy for contracts or projects, assist at Extraordinary or Annual General Meetings, and help design an ADR system to fit any particular circumstances.
