Alternative dispute resolution

For some time we have recognised the importance of 'horses for courses'. Whilst litigation may sometimes be the only way to resolve a dispute, there are other ways Recent procedural changes in the courts have made it more important that alternatives are considered which will resolve a dispute effectively and cheaply.

The members of our team are aware of the alternatives and will recommend them when appropriate. We have partners trained as mediators in both family and commercial disputes.
