The ICDR®—International Centre for Dispute Resolution®— is the international division of the largest arbitral institution in the world, the American Arbitration Association® (AAA®). The ICDR is the foremost provider of global conflict-resolution solutions to businesses and organizations involved in cross-border disputes. Drawing on the AAA’s 100 years of experience, the ICDR administrative system offers a range of international alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services providing time and cost savings, along with vetted, skilled arbitrators and advanced technology.
The American Arbitration Association provides cost-effective ADR services that can help parties resolve disputes faster and more affordably than traditional court proceedings. By resolving disputes outside of court, ADR helps reduce the burden on the judicial system and gives you more control over the outcome. Plus, with mediation as an option, ADR often leads to the parties reaching mutually beneficial agreements. The AAA-ICDR aims to move even the most complicated, multi-faceted cases through mediation and arbitration fairly and cost effectively, with the goal of getting parties back to business as soon as possible.
