Alternative dispute resolution enables you to discuss and settle disputes outside of court.
Whether conducted face-to-face or individually, our unbiased, qualified mediators will guide negotiations, ensuring that all parties continue to work towards a satisfactory and confidential conclusion, protecting you commercially and reputationally.
Civil Procedure Rules now require parties to access mediation prior to taking a claim of any nature to court; it’s quicker, cheaper and relieves both parties of the stress of pursuing a claim. Handled professionally, mediation is also highly effective; 80% of cases managed by Stephensons’ mediators are settled or settled shortly afterwards.
Our team of expert mediators will help you to maintain your relationships whilst working towards real solutions backed by technical expertise.
Our team conducts alternative dispute resolution services including:
