non-adversarial
Working together peacefully
Non-adversarial describes interactions or relationships that aren't based on opposition or conflict.
A non-adversarial negotiation seeks mutual benefit rather than victory over the other party.
In law, non-adversarial processes like mediation contrast with courtroom battles where sides compete to win.
The conversation remained non-adversarial despite their disagreements.
