Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Services at Lawfinity Advocates LLP

Arbitration Services

Arbitration is a form of dispute resolution that is often preferred for its speed and binding nature. During arbitration, both parties present their case to an arbitrator, who then makes a decision that is typically final and enforceable.

Key Features of Our Arbitration Services:

• Binding Decisions: Unlike mediation, arbitration ends with a decision that both parties must adhere to, similar to a court judgment.
• Expedited Process: Arbitration usually provides a quicker resolution compared to traditional court cases, allowing parties to save time and reduce legal expenses.
• Specialized Expertise: We select arbitrators with specific expertise relevant to the dispute, ensuring that the decision-maker is well-versed in the pertinent legal and practical issues.
• Confidentiality: Arbitration proceedings are private, and the details remain confidential, which can be advantageous for parties seeking discretion.

Mediation Services

Mediation is a collaborative process where a neutral third-party mediator helps disputing parties find a mutually acceptable solution. It is valued for its ability to preserve relationships and provide customized solutions.

Key Features of Our Mediation Services:

• Voluntary and Collaborative: Mediation is a voluntary process, and its success often hinges on the willingness of parties to collaborate towards a resolution.
• Cost-Effective: By avoiding the full scale of a trial, mediation can significantly reduce legal costs.
• Control Over Outcome: Parties have more control over the outcome in mediation than in arbitration or court, as they work together to agree on the terms of the settlement.
• Preservation of Relationships: Mediation can be less adversarial than other forms of dispute resolution, helping maintain professional or personal relationships post-dispute.
