    Alternative Dispute Resolution

    Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a way of sorting out your disputes without going to court. It is usually cheaper, quicker and less formal. There are two main types of ADR:

    Mediation

    Arbitration

    • A trained mediator is appointed to try to facilitate a settlement of your dispute
    • The mediator is neutral and doesn’t represent either side
    • The mediator manages the process – often a series of meetings between the parties spread over one day
    • Mediation is successful 75% of the time, saving time, money and stress
    • But it is always your choice as to whether or not to settle
    • An arbitrator is appointed to decide your dispute
    • The arbitrator is often an experienced expert rather than a judge who may know nothing about your industry
    • The arbitrator manages the process – which is either done by documents-only or could include a hearing
    • The arbitrator is not bound by the formalities of normal court procedure
    • You and the other party are bound by the result and it is easier to enforce than most other proceedings and internationally binding

    Got a dispute under the value of £1,000?

    Please note that for disputes, it is unlikely that we will be able to review all documentation and information relating to a situation within an initial 15 minute consultation period. If you are looking for direction on the strength of your case, there will usually be a fee associated with this service (and any follow up steps, e.g. letter drafting, referral to mediation or arbitration). For disputes with a value of £1,000 or less, we offer a cost-effective telephone mediation service which costs £125 plus VAT per party and has a 75% success rate.
