How do Ethics and ADR intersect?

Lawyers, Arbitrators and Mediators are each bound by Professional Standards of Conduct which define, and in some instances limit, the actions that these professionals may undertake in furtherance of their clients’ needs. At ADRFitz, a thorough understanding of and grounding in these Rules and significant experience in Professional Ethics provide further assurance that the processes followed are conducted with the best interests of all participants paramount.

Lawyers, arbitrators, and mediators must adhere to strict Professional Standards of Conduct, which govern their ethical responsibilities and define the scope of their actions when advocating for or assisting clients. These standards ensure fairness, neutrality, confidentiality, and integrity in all legal and dispute resolution proceedings. In some cases, these rules impose limitations on what professionals can do to maintain impartiality and protect the interests of all parties involved.
