Are you involved in a dispute that you would like to resolve quickly, and concerned that the legal process will take a long time and be expensive? Do you wish there were a quicker and cheaper way to deal with it?
Is the dispute with a person or company with which you would still like to do business, or a family member with whom you would like to rebuild a relationship, which is unlikely to happen if you get involved in a full scale court battle?
Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution which can be used in both civil and commercial cases at any stage of the dispute process to help bring about a settlement and avoid potentially costly court cases. It enables opposing parties to reach their own workable solution to their problem.
It is now one of the most popular ways to resolve disputes, thanks to its low cost, low stress, speed and effectiveness. The rate of success is high. It is encouraged by the court if proceedings have already started, but equally can be utilised at an early stage of a dispute before court costs have been incurred. The process is entirely confidential and if the matter is not resolved in this way, all your rights are still preserved so you can take your case to the courts if necessary.
