Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

ADR is an alternative to formal court proceedings. Using ADR at the right time can have the advantage of reaching a quick settlement with less costs.

The most common form of ADR is mediation, where the parties voluntarily agree to engage an independent third party mediator, who will usually be legally qualified or will have specific skills in the area of dispute. The process is carefully managed and is one which has successfully resolved many disputes with which we have been involved in recent years. We have successfully used mediation in a wide-range of disputes, including partnership, shareholder, professional negligence and breach of contract.

Mediation is not the only form of ADR, which also includes:

  • Expert determination
  • Arbitration
  • Adjudication
  • Early neutral evaluation

Our commercial litigation team is skilled in applying the most appropriate ADR option at the right time and in conjunction with your own objectives, will find the fastest and most cost-effective route to resolving your dispute.
