In the past, disputes have traditionally been resolved in the courts or in arbitration. However, not all of them are appropriate for these traditional forums. Sometimes there is a requirement for disputes to be dealt with more quickly, at a much-reduced cost, whilst maintaining real control over the process.
Our alternative dispute resolution (ADR) team has specialist expertise in resolving disputes, without the need to resort to litigation or arbitration. The team boasts accredited mediators and adjudicators who can provide a dispute resolution service to parties, whether or not they have legal or other representation.
Areas of expertise include:
- Adjudication
- Mediation
- Expert determination
- Conciliation
- Documents-only arbitration
