Alternative Dispute Resolution in Chesterfield, Sheffield, Dronfield and Mansfield

Court proceedings are by no means the only forum available to resolve a dispute.

There are a range of different methods of Alternative Dispute Resolution or ADR available to assist parties in achieving settlement or resolution of their differences, including:

  • Negotiation
  • Mediation
  • Arbitration
  • Adjudication
  • Expert Determination

Our expert dispute resolution team are ready to help. For more information, call us in confidence on 0330 017 6307.

Negotiation

Negotiation can be used at any stage of a dispute and can take place at any time, either by way of correspondence, telephone calls or a meeting. Utilising negotiation at an early stage can limit the costs incurred by the parties, if successful.

Mediation

Mediation involves the instruction of an independent third party (the mediator), who is appointed by the parties to assist and facilitate achieving a resolution between the parties. This process can assist the parties in appreciating the strengths and weaknesses of their respective cases and encourage them to set their expectations at a reasonable level. Mediation can be undertaken either prior to or during the course of court proceedings.

Arbitration

Arbitration entails the appointment of an independent third party (the Arbitrator), who is often an expert in the subject matter of the dispute, to determine the dispute. Arbitration is often used where the terms of a contract provide for the parties to utilise this form of resolution, for example under the terms of a lease or construction contract.

Adjudication

We are experienced in dealing with Land Registry and construction adjudication.

Expert Determination

Expert determination is a process that involves the appointment of an independent third party, who is an expert in the subject matter of the dispute, to help resolve the dispute. This process can be extremely useful where the subject matter of the dispute is technical and requires specialist knowledge and understanding. The decision can be legally binding with the prior agreement of the parties.

We offer an initial fixed-fee appointment followed up with a detailed advice letter, to assist you in establishing the merits of your case and to provide you with a suggested course of action.

Before the Judges decision on Friday, I made a point of acknowledging the first class service (all round) from all involved at Banner Jones. It is so easy after a positive outcome to pour praise upon various individuals involved in any victory, however, I made a point of recognising and acknowledging your superb efforts before we had the judgements it means more in my opinion, I am experienced enough to make such comments with conviction, many thanks again Simon.
