Mediation lawyers
There is often a lot at stake in a dispute. Whether it is a professional or personal issue, reaching a fair result quickly and efficiently is often of paramount importance, so you can move on and avoid a protracted and costly battle.
Mediation is a popular and private way of resolving disputes, which is often encouraged by courts in various jurisdictions. It can help to preserve commercial, family and other relationships from being damaged by litigation and it can assist in resolving matters quickly and economically.The process is confidential and encourages all manner of creative solutions that may not be available to a court determining whether a claim succeeds or not. This can help to resolve a dispute in an imaginative way.
If you find yourself caught in a complex family situation or challenging commercial relationship, mediation can offer you the opportunity to work out an amicable resolution. A mediator will work with you to find an appropriate solution, providing structure, support and a safe environment to enable future-focussed conversations. We can help you understand your objectives and what can be achieved through mediation, so you have a clear strategy.
Choosing a non-court option can save you time, money and minimize the trauma of a dispute, as well as protect you against invasion of your privacy. These are some of the main advantages of using mediation to resolve your dispute. The process if flexible, designed to meet your needs – you can choose whether to partake remotely or in person, whichever option is best for you, and it can be arranged quickly and independently, without court intervention, to help you find a swift resolution.
Our dispute resolution specialists in New York, London, Milan, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Singapore and Hong Kong, can help you explore and develop unique ideas to reach an effective conclusion. As well as being accredited mediators, our lawyers have considerable experience in conducting litigation and arbitration matters, experience which shapes our understanding of how mediation can be better used to resolve your dispute.
While we will always try to resolve the issue for you through mediation, if this does not deliver the result you hoped to achieve, it can still help you agree a settlement or provide clarity on your next steps, so it is worth considering.
