Alternative Dispute Resolution lawyers

Avoiding costly disputes is often the favoured route for businesses when challenges arise. Alternative dispute resolution – which includes mediation, moderation, and expert determination - is an increasingly attractive option for clients wishing to avoid lengthy and costly proceedings.

To secure the best outcome, it is important to work with legal advisers who are highly experienced in the alternative routes available, have experience in the sector you operate in and a commercial, problem-solving mind-set. The CMS ADR team helps clients through all phases of out-of-court dispute resolution.

Conflicts within the workplace can be particularly challenging and time consuming to address. Our specialist workplace mediation service is designed to give you all the benefits of an in-house service without the implementation cost or the training time. The service is flexible to cover short facilitated discussions lasting only a few hours, to longer full day mediations or team mediations. Our team of eight accredited mediators located across the UK are all experienced mediators and lawyers. We can meet tight timescales and provide speedy mediation assistance, where and when you need it.
