While many forms of conflict (within reason) can be resolved using lawyers, some of the most common types include:

  • Employment: Cases of unfair dismissal, underpayment, or disciplinary actions, all of which can benefit from dispute resolution.

These are only a few examples of starting dispute resolution, the process can be applied to many areas of conflict across various sectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if the other party is unwilling to participate in dispute resolution?

In the instance where the other party is unwilling to participate in dispute resolution, we can take steps to encourage their engagement. We will issue a formal invitation to the other party asking for their participation, explaining the benefits relating to cost and time savings compared to litigation. If they continue to decline, we will explore other options, including legal procedures

What happens if the dispute resolution process fails?

If a dispute resolution process fails to reach an agreement, we will reassess and determine the best course of action. This may include exploring litigation or negotiation to reach a suitable conclusion.

What documents do I need to provide for my case?

The documentation required will depend on the nature of your dispute. Generally, this includes any contracts, correspondence, invoices, or evidence relevant to the matter. During our initial consultation, we will advise on the specific materials needed to build a comprehensive understanding of your case and ensure the dispute resolution process proceeds smoothly.

Is the outcome of mediation or arbitration legally binding?

This depends on the method used. If your dispute is resolved through mediation, this is not legally binding as the result is obtained through voluntary agreement. Whereas arbitration is a legally binding agreement due to the use of an arbitrator whose decision is upheld through the courts.
