FAQs about dispute resolution
We can provide advice on the law and dispute resolution procedures as well as assess the merits of your case, in the practice areas within the expertise of our lawyers.
We can prepare and send letters before action and engage in pre-action correspondence in an attempt to bring about an amicable resolution to your dispute.
Where a resolution has been reached we can draft settlement agreements reflecting the terms agreed.
We also offer representation in various types of alternative dispute resolution methods, such as negotiation, mediation and arbitration.
At present we cannot provide representation in court proceedings (except for the Employment Tribunal). We can refer you to one of our professional partner law firms who would be happy to represent you.
Negotiation is a process where parties discuss and try to come to an agreement or compromise on an issue. It involves communication and bargaining to find a solution that satisfies everyone involved. It's a way to reach a mutual understanding or agreement without involving a third party like a judge or arbitrator.
Pre-action correspondence refers to the exchange of letters, emails, or other communications between parties involved in a dispute before formal legal proceedings are initiated. It typically occurs when one party believes they have a legal claim against another party but wishes to attempt to resolve the matter without going to court. The purpose is to encourage communication, clarify issues, and potentially reach a settlement before litigation becomes necessary.
Mediation is a process by which an independent, neutral person - the mediator - helps parties come to a mutually acceptable agreement to resolve their dispute. Involving an impartial third party allows for new ideas and solutions to develop and reduces the likelihood of the matter having to be resolved in court.
Once a resolution is reached, it’s documented in an agreement which, if the parties desire, becomes a legally binding contract. For more information, read our guide on Mediation.
Arbitration is a method of resolving disputes outside of the court system. Parties present their case to a neutral third party, known as an arbitrator or a panel of arbitrators, who then make a binding decision on the matter.
