MEDIATION


Every mediation is different. I recognise that in seeking to achieve an early understanding of party and counsel needs well in advance of mediating.   I seek to call a preliminary meeting, usually by teleconference and within two working days of my having been appointed.

This meeting can establish issues like urgency, the number of parties involved, and their representation, where and when counsel and the parties envisage the mediation might take place and what assistance, if any, the parties might need to prepare for the mediation. 
 
 

ARBITRATION


Arbitration can offer time savings and flexibility unavailable through court process.

For example, the parties are given the opportunity to agree on their arbitrator who may be a person specialising in arbitration process and procedure and/or sometimes having specialist industry knowledge.

Unlike court the fact finding processes in arbitration can be much more flexible and have the potential for significant cost savings.
