Dispute Mediation

Dispute mediation can be an effective and quick way to resolve personal and commercial disputes. Our team of experts are on hand to assist you to secure the right outcome for you. 

Dispute Mediation is a voluntary process in which a neutral third party assists parties in dispute to reach a settlement. The expectation of the courts is however that the parties involved in a dispute will attempt to mediate before taking court action.

Litigation is a costly procedure, both financially and emotionally. Dispute mediation often ensures that a dispute is settled in a cost-efficient manner, but in circumstances where the parties retain control. It can also offer solutions that would not be possible if a judge determined a dispute.

Mediation is a form of assisted negotiation and is suitable for all types of civil and commercial disputes regardless of complexity or value.

 

How do I know if I have a viable claim or defence?

Being involved in a legal dispute can be a stressful experience. However, seeking early legal advice from an experienced dispute resolution solicitor can help to ensure an early conclusion to make sure things do not get out of control.

Speaking to Ramsdens Solicitors will help to determine whether you have a viable case, and we will offer advice on whether or not your case can progress to the next stage.

Any difficulties or problems in pursuing your case will be properly risk-assessed, allowing you to make an informed decision about whether to continue. We can provide advice on your case and assess the potential risks of pursuing or defending it on your behalf.

How much is my claim worth?

The value of your claim is dependent on a number of factors. The legal process is not straightforward, and therefore it is vital that your claim is properly quantified. There are various types of disputes that consumers can have, and our dispute resolution solicitors will provide a realistic valuation of your claim.
