amicable resolution
Peaceful dispute ending
An amicable resolution is a settlement reached through cooperation rather than conflict.
The phrase appears most often in legal and business contexts, where disputes end through negotiation or mediation instead of litigation: The parties reached an amicable resolution before trial.
It implies mutual agreement and preserved relationships, even if neither side got everything they wanted.
