Taking disputes to trial can be a lengthy and costly process and in some circumstances it is not the best approach.
Taking disputes to trial can be a lengthy and costly process and in some circumstances it is not the best approach. If a resolution can be achieved without the need to go to trial, our solicitors will try their best to help facilitate that.
Our alternative dispute resolution team is highly experienced in the following areas:
Negotiation: resolving disputes by holding discussions and coming to an agreement which is mutually agreed by the parties.
Arbitration: a dispute is submitted to be heard by a third party, an arbitrator, who is neither a judge nor a court.
Adjudication: a dispute is submitted to an adjudicator (selected by the parties) who gives a decision on the dispute based on the information he is given by the parties. The decision is not binding on the parties.
Mediation: a voluntary process (the parties are not obliged to take part) whereby an impartial, independent third party helps the parties in dispute to find a mutually acceptable resolution.
