MEDIATION AND ADVOCACY

Depending on the nature of your legal needs, you may need mediation support or the assistance of a Solicitor Advocate if your case proceeds to Court. Unusually for a law firm, we have both practising mediators and Solicitor Advocates in our team, providing a clear advantage, whatever the direction of your proceedings. Two of our Partners are practising mediators with the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution, the leading body in the UK for mediation excellence, and our Solicitor Advocates can represent you in all civil Courts throughout England and Wales, including the High Court.

CRAFTING THE RIGHT RESOLUTION

Mediation is often the best option for a business seeking a swift, cost-effective resolution to a dispute. Cases can be settled in a day and provide you with greater control over the outcome.

We take a pragmatic and commercial approach to helping you avoid the expense of litigation. Drawing on our long-standing experience, we craft settlements that work for all parties but create an outcome that meets your objectives. With thorough knowledge of your circumstances, we lead you through the mediation process, ensuring you understand what is happening and why, the costs involved and the best course of action to take.

If your matter proceeds to Court, our Solicitor Advocates deliver the benefit of being part of our firm, rather than an external barrister. This means we can handle all aspects of your case and you are supported by a Solicitor Advocate who is familiar with your legal issue and will work closely with you to find a solution. By building a strong relationship with you based on trust and communication, we can achieve the best results in Court.
