Mediation Services
Commercial Mediation Solicitors

When disputes occur between businesses, they can cause significant disruption to day-to-day activities and are a drain on management time. Our Commercial Mediation team understands the urgency to help resolve disputes as soon as they occur.

Commercial mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method that focuses on helping businesses solve issues outside of the courtroom, when appropriate.

A mutually appointed individual will sit with both parties and will help them to work collaboratively to reach an amicable resolution.

Commercial Mediation

We help resolve a range of commercial disputes including:

  • Commercial contract disputes.
  • Director disputes
  • E-commerce and IT disputes.
  • Employment disputes.
  • Franchising disputes.
  • Insolvency and bankruptcy disputes.
  • Payment disputes.
  • Real estate disputes.
  • Restrictive Covenants.

Mediation can be initiated at any time during a dispute, although the earlier the process is begun, potentially the quicker a resolution can be found.

Benefits of Mediation

There are significant benefits in choosing mediation over traditional court proceedings. Unlike formal proceedings, mediation is quicker and more cost-effective.

During mediation, both parties are encouraged to share their views and concerns to address the dispute collectively and aim to reach a workable solution.

The mediator will meet privately with each party to discuss the problem confidentially. This allows each party to be honest with the mediator without the fear that any weaknesses in their case being communicated to other parties.

Restrictive Covenants

Some of the most valuable assets for a company involve the protection of client relationships and information.

Protection of these valuable assets usually involves the enforcement of such agreements. We can assist clients in their goals through strategic negotiation and mediation.

Franchising Disputes

Many franchise agreements include provisions for mediation. Mediation is intended to be neutral and provide an opportunity for the parties to resolve their dispute without going to court.

These disputes may occur because of a variety of reasons including a breach of franchise agreements, or misappropriation of funds.

Whatever the reason, our skilled lawyers are usually able to seek an amicable resolution.

After Mediation

Once the mediation process has been completed and an agreement has been reached, the parties will be asked to translate it into a formal Settlement Agreement. This will be a binding document signed by both parties.

Where possible we will offer a fixed fee, so you will know what the costs are from the start. For more complex or uncertain projects, we will provide you with an estimate of the likely fees involved and keep you updated throughout the matter.
