Mediation: More than an information gathering tool?

Even if it might not feel possible or likely at the outset, all disputes will and must come to an end at some point. As one of the most recognised dispute resolution firms in the world, our lawyers are here to help you resolve matters in a way that is the most suitable for you and your business.

Whether you are the claimant or defendant, whatever the stage you have reached in discussions with the other party (if at all) and whatever is the formal forum that you might be facing or already engaged in (whether an arbitration forum or a court system, domestically or abroad), a commercially negotiated solution can offer an early and cost-effective route out of your dispute. 

Commercially negotiated solutions allow you to be fully involved in and to remain in control of your outcome, rather than leave that outcome in the hands of a judge or other tribunal. 

Court and tribunals will always encourage prospective and actual parties to arbitration and litigation to consider and use extra-judicial tools, and to engage in negotiated dispute resolution, before but also during any proceedings. 

Clyde & Co has extensive experience of handling mediations in the UK and other jurisdictions. We are well-positioned to draw on that experience and expertise to assist our clients in navigating the uncharted waters of mediation, including:

• advising clients on their obligations;
• whether, and how clients should engage in mediation as a method of ADR;
• choosing a suitable Mediator and guiding and supporting clients through the mediation process if they choose to engage in mediation.

To discuss your meditation or dispute resolution needs in more detail, please contact Richard Power & Anna Myrvang.
