Commitment to Due Process: ADR Global is firmly committed to ensuring fairness, transparency, and balance in every consumer arbitration. As part of this commitment, ADR Global reviews dispute‑resolution clauses for compliance with established consumer‑protection standards and best practices. When a clause fails to meet these due‑process requirements or conflicts with ADR Global’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, ADR Global may decline to administer the arbitration to protect the integrity of the process and the rights of all parties.
Accessible Tools and Resources:ADR Global is committed to delivering unmatched transparency and support for both consumers and businesses.

These tools empower parties with the information they need to understand the process, evaluate fairness, and navigate consumer arbitration with confidence.

Types of Consumer Disputes We Handle

Financial Services The financial services landscape is defined by "Real-Time Friction." As consumers embrace AI-driven lending, mobile-first banking, and Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) products, the speed of financial disputes has outpaced traditional litigation.
Motor Vehicle and Lemon Law Claims In 2026, California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (the "Lemon Law") remains one of the nation's strongest consumer shields, but recent legislative shifts (AB 1755 and SB 26) have introduced new "rules of the road." Whether you are a consumer with a recurring transmission issue or a manufacturer managing a fleet, the landscape now emphasizes mandatory notice and specialized ADR.
Retail and E-commerce Transactions The global e-commerce market has reached a critical "trust milestone." With the Consumer Rules and new California transparency laws (like AB 578 and SB 244) now in full effect, the way we resolve disputes over "the package that never came" or the "refund that was denied" has become faster and more automated.
Travel and Hospitality In 2026, the travel and hospitality sectors are navigating a "High-Expectation" era. With the rise of Agentic AI (bots that book and rebook on your behalf) and new California transparency laws like SB 243 and AB 578, the line between a "bad trip" and a "legal breach" has never been thinner.
Telecommunications and Utilities The telecommunications and utilities sectors are navigating a "Grid-and-Cloud" transformation. With the rollout of 6G pilots, the massive energy demands of AI data centers, and new California laws protecting consumers from utility disconnections, the traditional "customer service" complaint has evolved into a high-stakes technical and regulatory dispute.
