Mediation
Mediation can be an effective way of resolving disputes and has many advantages over litigation. It can be quicker, less stressful and cheaper than going to court. It has a high success rate with the majority of mediations settling on the day or shortly afterwards. It is a voluntary, private and confidential meeting of the parties, where, with the assistance of our CEDR accredited mediator acting as a facilitator and an impartial third party, the parties can attempt to reach a settlement that is acceptable to all those involved.
