ADR

Chambers is strongly committed to Alternative Dispute Resolution.We believe that effective civil dispute resolution does not necessarily mean resort to the courts. Often it is more appropriate to reach a solution by means of arbitration or mediation. It may well be more cost-effective. In some cases it will allow practical measures to be implemented, measures which might not lie within the power of the courts to impose. In other cases it may well allow parties to see aspects of their dispute in a new light and, sometimes even as part of the machinery of the solution, commercial relations between previously trading parties may be resurrected.

Our commitment is reflected both in our professional services and in our facilities.

ADR services

All members of chambers are willing to act in arbitrations and mediations, and will - where the circumstances are right - aim to suggest these methods of dispute resolution where they may be appropriate.

Many members of chambers are accredited arbitrators and/or mediators. Full details, and assistance in choosing an appropriately qualified arbitrator or mediator can be obtained from the clerks.

ADR facilities

Chambers is able to offer full in-house arbitration and mediation facilities. The ADR suite, with all the convenience of our central London location, offers an alternative venue with easy access. It is available for hire to parties seeking to resolve their disputes in a neutral setting whether or not any members of chambers are instructed, and provides the perfect setting for ADR where discretion is desired.
