Conflict Guide.
A simple tool that helps you choose the resolution process that fits your situation best.
Introduction
Conflicts can be resolved in many ways. Sometimes through structured support for negotiation, other times through a formal court ruling. Use our Conflict Guide to find the resolution process most suited to you and your situation. Just move the sliders below and see.
If most of your answers lean to the left: Negotiation or mediation is often the best fit. These processes give you more control, lower costs, and the chance to include practical or relational solutions – not just legal ones.
If more of your answers lean to the right: Arbitration or court proceedings may be more relevant. These processes hand the decision to a third party and provide a binding legal outcome – though often at higher cost, longer timelines, and with less focus on the relationship.
Spectrum of modes of dispute resolution
There are different ways to resolve conflicts.
The best choice depends on what matters most to you – control, time, costs, or the relationship.
Negotiation
You and the other party find a solution yourselves, through direct dialogue. Fast, flexible, and fully under your control. The agreement can be tailored and include not only legal but also practical or relational elements important to you.
Mediation
A neutral third party helps you reach an agreement together. Confidential, relationship-oriented, and open for solutions that go beyond purely legal issues.
Arbitration
An independent, privately chosen arbitrator decides the case. More flexible and confidential than the courts, while still providing a binding decision.
Court proceedings
A judge decides the case. Formal, public, and often time- and cost-consuming. It provides only a legal ruling – other aspects of the relationship are not considered.
