Services

We provide independent and impartial mediation for individuals, businesses, organisations and professional advisers. The mediator helps the parties understand the issues, communicate effectively and explore solutions, but does not impose a decision.

Business and partnership disputes

Disagreements between business owners, directors, shareholders or partners can quickly become complex and costly.

Mediation gives the parties an opportunity to deal with both the immediate dispute and the underlying commercial relationship, and to explore practical solutions while keeping control of the outcome.

Property and construction disputes

These disputes often involve several parties, contractual obligations, delays, costs and continuing commercial relationships.

A structured mediation helps the parties identify the main areas of disagreement and explore commercially realistic options for settlement.

Mediation before and during court proceedings

Mediation can take place before proceedings are issued, during litigation, or at any other appropriate stage of a dispute.

Where appropriate, it can help the parties narrow the issues, reduce costs and explore settlement without waiting for a final decision from a court or tribunal.
