Our team of dispute resolution lawyers has been helping clients resolve disputes for over 20 years. From property to employment, we ensure each case we undertake is carefully and thoughtfully resolved through measured discussions.
The process of dispute resolution can be varied and complex. We ensure that every step is undertaken with the utmost professionalism and discretion. When engaging a dispute resolution lawyer, you can expect to have a structured and collaborative process aimed at resolving your conflict without going to court. After your initial meeting, we’ll examine the best course of action, whether that’s mediation, arbitration, or negotiation. We will then guide the concerned parties to reach their goals through guided consultation, to achieve a fair resolution through mutual agreement.
While many forms of conflict (within reason) can be resolved using lawyers, some of the most common types include:
These are only a few examples of starting dispute resolution, the process can be applied to many areas of conflict across various sectors.

We will give you an estimate of costs and charges at each stage of the dispute or Court action to ensure that there are no hidden surprises.

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
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.
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.
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.
