Frequently asked questions
If you are involved in any dispute with any individual, group or business, but are unsure as to what help you require, you can still consult a legal expert to explore dispute resolution.
ADR is a term used for the options available for solving a dispute without having to go to court. These include conciliation, mediation and arbitration.
A dispute is settled when both parties come to an agreement or compromise that ends the conflict. This is usually an offer, made by one party accepted by the other.
Mediation is one form of alternative dispute resolution, but other forms of resolution exist to be used, such as arbitration and ombudsmen.
A solicitor can help advise you on the best course of action in a dispute by helping with and sitting in on mediation and other resolution methods. They can also represent you in court if the dispute goes that far.
