Mediation is an informal, flexible and cost effective process which is entirely confidential and ‘without prejudice’. It has a high success rate.

Where successful, it produces a settlement which both parties agree to rather than being imposed by a court, avoids the delays and emotional expense of litigation, removes the risks of litigation and it can help restore business and personal relationships that might otherwise be undermined by the tensions of litigation. It can be arranged, and concluded, quickly. Our service is convenient, flexible and economic.

There are many advantages to mediation:

• It is a flexible, speedy, confidential, and less adversarial process
• It has a high success rate in a wide variety of disputes
• It is cost effective
• It is a non-binding procedure
• It allows for flexible solutions and settlements
• It is suited to situations where the parties wish to restore their relationship

Civil & Commercial Mediation

Our expert mediators have assisted numerous parties reach a mediated agreement across a broad spectrum of civil and commercial disputes, including:

• Property Disputes – including disputes relating to both freehold and leasehold properties, whether domestic or commercial, landlord and tenant disputes, disputes over boundaries, and neighbour disputes.
• Commercial Disputes – including disputes between companies as well as disputes between suppliers and customers.
• Private Disputes – including wills & probate disputes (including inheritance claims, disputed wills, administration disputes), employment/workplace disputes, personal injury claims, and contractual/debt disputes. Often cases are referred to our mediators by solicitors who instruct Chambers in other matters, and frequently when there are ongoing court proceedings.
