Mediation

Mediation can be an effective way of resolving disputes without the need to go to court.  It involves using an independent third party – a mediator – who helps both sides endeavour to reach a settlement of their dispute.

Mediation is a confidential process where the terms of the negotiation are not disclosed to the court or tribunal.  If parties are unable to reach agreement, they can still go to court.

Stephenson Harwood's litigation specialists advise clients on mediation, devise suitable processes and represent clients at mediations.

Our team is led by John Fordham himself a practising mediator on the CEDR Direct panel.
