Ward Gethin Archer are an established firm of solicitors with multiple locations across the East of England. Their experts are able to offer pragmatic legal advice across a wide range of disputes. Mediation is one form of Alternative Dispute Resolution and another service that Ward Gethin Archer is now able to provide.
Mediation is a voluntary process to facilitate discussions between parties to find a common ground and reach a settlement.
The mediator remains impartial to both sides and is not there to determine the issue in dispute. Mediation is confidential and without prejudice, which means that in the event that the mediation is unsuccessful, the parties cannot refer the court to anything which may have been said during the mediation. This is a key element to the success of mediation.
Additionally, mediation can be attempted at anytime, before or after proceedings have been issued.
Whilst most mediations last a full day, sometimes they may require more time, and for others a half day may be appropriate. Mediations can be arranged and adapted to suit the specific circumstances of the parties.
Ward Gethin Archer employs mediators on the CMC Register, which means they meet agreed professional standards. The CMC Register can be searched online, enabling people to find mediators near to them, and can be found here: civilmediation.org
