At QualitySolicitors Oliver & Co the Dispute Resolution Team's focus is to resolve disputes quickly, enabling if at all possible, commercial relationships between parties to continue with the minimum of disruption.

Mediation is a common form of alternative dispute resolution whereby an independent and neutral Mediator is appointed by the parties to try and facilitate discussion and settlement.

In many cases, Mediation offers an opportunity to find flexible solutions to commercial disputes and, if successful, can achieve a cost effective outcome for Clients.

Many of the risks which are inherent in Litigation are avoided since Mediation offers a solution outside the constraints of the win / lose Court process. It offers a flexible and confidential process, giving all parties the opportunity and control to decide whether they wish to settle and, if so, on what terms.

The Dispute Resolution Team has expertise and experience in both conducting and advising on Mediations arising out of a wide range of commercial disputes, including but not limited to:

• Contracts;
• Shareholder;
• Partnership;
• Financial;
• Construction;
• Property; and
• Insolvency disputes.
