Other Disputes

Can my dispute be mediated?

Mediation is not limited to particular types of dispute.

If two or more people, businesses or organisations are in disagreement and are willing to explore whether a negotiated solution can be reached, mediation may be able to help.

You do not need to know whether your disagreement is legally a “civil” or “commercial” dispute, or whether mediation is the right process, before contacting us.

What other disputes can be mediated?

Other areas in which mediation may help include:

Employment and workplace disputes

Disagreements between employers and employees, colleagues, managers and business owners, including working relationships, pay, performance, grievances, discrimination, dismissal and the terms on which employment comes to an end.

School and education disputes

Disagreements involving schools, parents, pupils and others within the school community, including communication, behaviour, pastoral matters, fees and other school-related concerns.

Building and construction disputes

Disagreements concerning building works, defects, variations, delays, payment and contractual issues involving property owners, contractors and other professionals.

Professional and client disputes

Disagreements between professionals, businesses and their clients or customers concerning services, fees, performance or other aspects of their relationship.

Other private and civil disputes

Mediation can also be used for many other disagreements between individuals, businesses and organisations, including disputes involving services, contracts, reputation, intellectual property and other civil or commercial matters where those involved would prefer to explore an agreed solution rather than allow the dispute to continue or escalate.

Not sure whether mediation could help?

That is something we can help you decide.

If you are involved in an argument or dispute that you have been unable to resolve, contact us for an initial discussion. We can talk through the problem, explain how mediation works and consider whether it could provide a practical and proportionate way forward.

Talk to us about your dispute

I would like to thank you for the time you have spent in achieving in 4 hours, what we never achieved in 4 months. I think it is by far a much better process than solicitors and court.

I honestly feel that we now have a good chance of proceeding in an amicable way that hopefully in time will become a friendship with the children at its core. I do not think we would have achieved this through solicitors, and feel huge gratitude for your patience and gentleness.

It’s so much better to go through this process together in a calm and neutral setting, rather than being defensive at home or seeing a solicitor individually. You’ve been a great adviser on a tricky topic and the meetings were really productive.

Throughout this whole horrible process we have both felt that the system is designed to leave us hating each other and to have had your support in helping us get to this point has meant a great deal, so thank you for your support of us both and for reflecting everything so well.

Thank you for all you have done to make a very sad and painful process somewhat less painful!

Thanks for all your help. We are talking a lot more and generally getting on much better, we even stood next to each other at rugby AND are going to parents’ evening together!

You did more in 4 hours than our lawyers had done in 1 year. For that I am very grateful.
