Dispute Resolution Services
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to a means of resolving disputes between the parties that does not involve going to court,
the most common ADR techniques are mediation, arbitration or conciliation.
Mediation
Mediation is where an independent and neutral third party helps you and the individual, entity or any other party that you are in a dispute with to reach a mutually acceptable outcome. The mediator simply adds formal structure to the communication between you and the other participant with the aim of helping you to reach a voluntary agreement.
Mediation offers the parties flexibility allowing you and the other participant to agree a settlement. Mediation is a completely confidential process; all parties and anybody else in attendance, will be required to agree to keep matters private. A mediator will normally hold private conversations with each party, but the mediator will never disclose to the other party the content of those discussions, except where disclosure is permitted by that party.
