MORE INFORMATION

InnovADR Ltd. is a Swiss company that organizes and invests
in Appropriate Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes by:

Diagnosing

Diagnosing

Using the forms available via our portal, we analyse each case, the possibility of it escalating further, and the likelihood of the case settling based on the answers to a series of multiple choice questions. We provide a free diagnostic at the end of every Application Form. No confidential information about the facts or positions taken by the parties are needed for this diagnostic.

Designing

Designing

We propose a customized “mixed mode” ADR process that should be able to resolve the case faster, cheaper and better (within less than 3-6 months, and for less than 1/3rd of the costs of going to trial) after a party fills out the forms on our portal. A process based on the diagnostic results received is immediately proposed, in the form of a modified “Riskin Grid”, indicating what types of dispute resolution processes may be appropriate for that case.

Implementing

Implementing

Should the parties agree to work with InnovADR after receiving a proposal from us, we assist the parties in putting that recommended process into practice. This includes assisting them in identifying and selecting appropriate ADR neutrals for each case. Our proprietary portal also has a module that assists each party in selecting mutually acceptable ADR Neutrals for each case. We assist the parties to work in accordance with any institutional rules that may apply, or on an “ad hoc” basis.

Financing

Financing

InnovADR actually invests its own resources and usually pays upfront for the fees of the ADR Neutrals and any ADR institutions itself, aligning its interests with those of all the parties. It does not foster litigation between the parties, but promotes settlement, convening the parties and taking the risk of the dispute not settling upon itself, by paying these fees upfront and working on a “no settlement, no fee” basis.  This demonstrates its confidence in its recommendations and the processes it helps the parties to design and implement. Other than a small administrative fee payable only after an agreement is signed (the 4th step in InnovADR’s process), the parties do not pay InnovADR anything unless and until the case settles.  This effectively makes working with InnovADR risk free for each disputant.

Our 7 Key Drivers For Process Design

  1. Costs: reducing the costs of reaching an effective outcome
  2. Time: optimizing the time needed to reach an outcome
  3. Relationships: providing for the parties’ desire to maintain or repair relationships, and setting a cooperative tone for resolving the dispute (including reputations and third-party stakeholders)
  4. Control of Process: accounting for the parties’ desire to control procedural matters (e.g., discovery, submissions, lawyers, witness testimonies, etc.)
  5. Control of Outcome: meeting the parties’ desire to control the outcome of the process (e.g., final findings of fact, law, liability, damages, reimbursement of attorneys’ fees, etc.)
  6. Confidentiality: providing for the parties’ desire to keep the dispute and/or its outcome confidential, to the extent permitted by law
  7. Enforceability: addressing the possible need to have the outcome recognized and enforced domestically or internationally.
