Conciliation

Conciliation Services at Astrea: Efficient Alternative Dispute Resolution

Conciliation is a widely recognized form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), alongside arbitration and mediation. It is a voluntary, flexible, and confidential process aimed at resolving disputes between parties without resorting to costly and time-consuming litigation. The process focuses on addressing the interests and needs of the parties involved, often leading to a mutually acceptable solution.

In India, conciliation is governed under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. At Astrea, we leverage various techniques and methodologies to settle disputes effectively through conciliation. Our approach ensures better communication, fosters negotiation, provides clear legal standing, and leads to amicable resolutions.

Why Choose Conciliation?

• Voluntary and Flexible: Both parties choose to engage in the process, allowing for greater control over the outcome.
• Confidential: All discussions and agreements reached are confidential, safeguarding the interests of both parties.
• Cost and Time Efficient: Conciliation avoids lengthy court proceedings, saving both time and money for clients.
• Interest-Based Resolution: Focuses on the underlying interests of the parties, leading to solutions that are acceptable to both sides.
