Our specialist mediation and arbitration solicitors provide professional, practical and clear advice.

Court proceedings are frequently necessary and our solicitors are fully conversant and experienced in commencing and conducting Court proceedings through to High Court and County Court trials and have dealt with cases going to the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court (formerly the House of Lords). However, parties are encouraged, and now required, by the Court to consider whether their dispute can be resolved out of the courtroom.

Our Commercial Litigation solicitors all have experience of conducting “round table meetings” and formal Mediation Meetings with an Independent Mediator. Recent cases we have settled at mediation and round table meetings include:

An international settlement involving the parties and their lawyers meeting in Romania to settle a claim brought by our client for over US$1.1 relating to oil exploration equipment.

Settlement of a claim brought by our client for negligent advice against IFA. As well as the Financial Advisor the Defendants’ insurers were involved and settlement was successfully negotiated.

Settlement of a claim at mediation against a surveyor who had undertaken a negligent valuation and survey

Settlement at mediation of a claim for ownership of, and a share of the profits generated by, a network of former “Blue John” mines in Derbyshire now operating as a successful tourist attraction.

Settlement of a claim against an employee who had operated a competing business.

Settlement of a neighbour dispute.

Attendance at a round table meeting in connection with a dispute relating to defects in a high performance sports car. Although the settlement meeting did not result in an agreement at that stage the claim was ultimately successful at trial.

Mediation requires not only a detailed knowledge of the claim but also firm negotiating skills in circumstances where parties are often entrenched in their views. Mediation can result in a continuation of a business or personal relationship which may have otherwise broken down. Our Commercial Litigation solicitors will advise on the best time to try to settle the dispute in this way and there is often a saving of time, costs and aggravation.
