The financial sector is no stranger to disputes, whether they involve loan defaults, contract breaches, or debt management. However, litigation, the conventional method of resolving disputes, can often be slow, costly, and adversarial, damaging relationships. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)—particularly mediation—provides a faster, more cost-effective, and harmonious way to resolve conflicts. Here in Kenya, institutions like the Tatua Center are at the forefront of offering innovative ADR services tailored to the financial services sector.

Why choose ADR over Litigation?
Kenya’s Judiciary progressively encourages ADR mechanisms to alleviate court backlogs and ensure faster resolution of disputes. ADR, particularly mediation, offers several advantages over litigation:

• Speed: ADR methods resolve disputes faster than court proceedings, which can last years owing to adjournments and procedural delays.
• Cost-effectiveness: ADR reduces the high legal and court fees associated with litigation.
• Confidentiality: Disputes resolved through ADR remain private, safeguarding sensitive financial information.
• Preservation of relationships: Mediation promotes mutual understanding, allowing disagreeing parties to continue doing business.
• Enforceable agreements: Mediation settlements are legally binding and enforceable in law, providing parties with security in the resolution.
