It is often the case that the best outcome for the resolution of commercial problems does not come about through litigation but through dispute resolution. Sensitive commercial and personal relationships are often better preserved through the use of mediation and/or arbitration. Here at Landmark we are fortunate to have members of chambers who have a wide range of experience in both representation at arbitrations and mediations and in sitting as Arbitrators or Mediators. Examples of the type of disputes we have mediated/arbitrated include:
We are unusually well equipped to offer the facilities required for a mediation or arbitration. We have a dedicated floor of ten meeting rooms which can be adapted to provide hearing rooms and private retiring rooms for the parties. In addition to the usual catering and office facilities we have video and telephone conferencing facilities to allow remote participation.
Under our Standard Mediation Agreement we can offer a fixed fee to include up to seven hours preparation and a mediation day from 9.30am - 5.30pm, with additional time being charged on an hourly basis.
When using Counsel from our Chambers our facilities are included in the fee, which is often an additional charge when a Mediation/Arbitration is set up elsewhere.
Representing parties at a mediation or acting as a Mediator requires skills which are markedly different to those required to represent parties in court. The courts now require parties to a dispute to show that they have actively considered mediation as a precursor to litigation.
We have Members of Chambers at all levels who can advise on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The following members of Chambers are qualified mediators:
The following members of Chambers act as arbitrators, and are either qualified or experienced arbitrators, or sit in a judicial capacity.
