Resolving business disputes efficiently through alternative dispute resolution
Resolving business disputes efficiently through alternative dispute resolution
Not every business dispute needs to go to court. Alternative dispute resolution offers faster, more cost-effective, and often more commercially sensible ways to resolve conflicts. Our ADR specialists help businesses navigate mediation, arbitration, and other resolution methods to achieve outcomes that protect relationships and the bottom line.
Whether you are looking to resolve a contractual disagreement through mediation, enforce rights through arbitration, or need expert determination on a technical issue, we provide strategic guidance and robust representation throughout the ADR process. We help clients choose the right method for their dispute and advocate effectively within each forum.
From early-stage negotiation to binding arbitration, we provide expert guidance across the full spectrum of alternative dispute resolution.
Facilitated negotiation with a neutral mediator to reach mutually acceptable settlements. We prepare comprehensive position statements and advocate effectively to achieve optimal outcomes for our clients.
Binding dispute resolution before an independent arbitrator or tribunal. We handle domestic and international arbitrations under all major institutional rules including ICC, LCIA, and UNCITRAL.
Resolution of technical or valuation disputes by an independent expert. Ideal for accounting disputes, property valuations, and other matters requiring specialist knowledge.
Fast-track dispute resolution commonly used in construction disputes. We handle referrals, responses, and enforcement of adjudicators' decisions through the courts.
Strategic pre-action and without prejudice negotiations to resolve disputes before formal proceedings. We leverage legal strengths to negotiate favourable commercial settlements.
Tailored dispute resolution combining elements of mediation, arbitration, and other processes. Med-arb, arb-med, and bespoke procedures designed for complex multi-party disputes.
Strategic, commercially-focused dispute resolution tailored to your business objectives.
We assess the nature of the dispute, the parties' positions, and the commercial context to recommend the most appropriate ADR method. Early strategic advice ensures you choose the right forum for the best outcome.
Not all ADR methods suit every dispute. We guide you through the options—mediation for relationship preservation, arbitration for binding outcomes, expert determination for technical matters—to find the right fit.
Thorough preparation is critical to ADR success. We develop detailed position statements, evidence bundles, and strategic arguments to maximise your negotiating position and strengthen your case.
Our experienced advocates represent you throughout the ADR process, from opening statements to final negotiations. We combine legal expertise with commercial awareness to achieve results that work for your business.
ADR typically costs a fraction of full litigation. Mediation and other methods resolve disputes in days or weeks rather than months or years, significantly reducing legal costs and management time.
Unlike court proceedings which are public, ADR processes are private and confidential. This protects your business reputation, trade secrets, and commercial relationships from public scrutiny.
ADR's collaborative approach helps preserve valuable business relationships. Where ongoing commercial partnerships are at stake, mediation and negotiation offer paths to resolution without the adversarial nature of litigation.
Our dispute resolution team combines courtroom expertise with deep experience across all forms of alternative dispute resolution. We understand when ADR is the right approach and how to maximise outcomes within each process.
From complex multi-party mediations to international arbitrations, we bring the same strategic rigour and commercial awareness that defines our litigation practice. Our advocates are experienced in preparing and presenting cases across all ADR forums.
We believe in choosing the right tool for the job. Sometimes that means robust litigation; often it means a well-prepared mediation or arbitration can deliver better, faster results for our clients.
