Arbitration
is a process by which parties can resolve their disputes privately using
their own appointed judge or judges. They can agree the procedures by which
the dispute will be resolved, or have their appointed judge fashion procedures
best suited to that end. The process side-steps the normal Courts, but is
(broadly speaking) binding in law to the same extent as a Court judgment.
Mediation is a process by which an independent third party
appointed by two disputants assists them to reach an agreed resolution
of their differences.
These processes are sometimes referred to as Alternative Dispute Resolution
(or ADR). For certain disputes, they can provide cost-effective and speedy
alternatives to conventional Court litigation. Where possible, we encourage
clients to explore these options. We have extensive experience of both
procedures and have achieved significant benefits for clients by their
use in appropriate cases.
We provide seminars for clients wishing to learn more about how they
can benefit from these methods of dispute resolution.
