Disputes are an inevitable part of business and personal dealings, but litigation is not always the best solution. Arbitration, mediation, and conciliation provide faster, cost-effective, and confidential alternatives to court battles. These methods help resolve disputes amicably while preserving business relationships and personal ties.
At Manu Legal Solutions, we specialize in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), guiding clients through arbitration and mediation to achieve fair and enforceable outcomes without the hassle of prolonged court proceedings.
