ADR (ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION)
Due to the increasing emphasis by
Courts (and Tribunals) for proceedings to be the last resort
and owing to the potentially serious cost consequences to
clients in not first attempting dispute resolution (ADR) it
is most important that parties seek expert advice at an
early stage of any dispute. For this reason we encourage
clients to seek resolution through independent mediation or
other forms of settlement.
In difficult cases we liaise and
instruct specialist practitioners at the Bar in London and
outside. Our selection is based on a combination of
expertise and cost effectiveness.
