A revolution in litigation

Resolving disputes historically, has been a long-winded process with cases taking years to get to court and, along the way, costing vast amounts of money.

However, in the light of the recent Woolf Reforms, the civil court system has been revolutionised, affording corporations and individuals a much more effective way of resolving conflict - through mediation.

Out of court

Mediation offers disputing parties a cheaper, faster resolution to their problems by encouraging them to work together through a mediator to come to a mutually acceptable solution - without having to resort to the courts.

An evolving industry in the UK, mediation has been tried and tested in the USA where studies show an average success rate of greater than 75%.
