Alternative Dispute Resolution

Mediation can be an effective and quick way to resolve business disputes.

Mediation is a voluntary process in which a neutral third party assists parties in dispute to reach a settlement. The expectation of the courts is however that the parties involved in a dispute will attempt to mediate before taking court action.

Litigation is a costly procedure both financially and emotionally. Mediation often ensures that a dispute is settled in a cost efficient manner but in circumstances where the parties retain control. It can also offer solutions that would not be possible if a judge determined a dispute.

Mediation is a form of assisted negotiation and is suitable for all types of civil and commercial disputes regardless of complexity or value.
