Unfortunately, whether in commercial or private life disputes are going to occur. Until recently the only method of resolving disputes was through the adversarial process of litigation. Whilst litigation remains in many cases the only appropriate means of dispute resolution, a new and innovative method is now available, namely mediation.
Mediation is a process by which an independent, trained Mediator mediates an agreed resolution to a dispute. This is particularly useful in commercial cases where the parties to the dispute wish to have an on-going commercial relationship. In family cases it can also limit the inevitable bitterness and acrimony that can arise.
We are fully committed to mediation. The firm is a member of the ADR Group, with two trained mediators within the firm, (and more to come). We are a founder member of the Hull Dispute Resolution Centre, which provides independent commercial/civil mediators for commercial disputes as well as "Mediation for the Family", which provides independent family mediators to assist in resolving family and matrimonial disputes.
