Mission and Values

Legal and Ethical Standards
In a field that is continually expanding and evolving, the FORUM is setting the benchmarks by providing alternative dispute resolution services that consistently aspire to high legal and ethical standards.

Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to provide a fair, efficient, and effective system for the resolution of commercial and civil disputes in America and worldwide.

Our Values
We are guided by experience, integrity and innovation. Our commitment to professional and legal standards produces clear, unbiased rules, and we accord disputing parties rights and privileges consistent with those of the judicial system. The former judges and experienced attorneys who hear and decide our cases review the facts and render decisions based on known rules and substantive law.

The FORUM's Purpose
Bringing the right people together to solve the conflict at hand in the most fair and appropriate manner—and using technology to make it efficient: that’s what an ADR administrator does.
