Who this service is for

Commercial mediation is for businesses, business owners and commercial parties who are dealing with a dispute that has not been resolved through ordinary conversation or negotiation. It is suitable for disputes of varying scale, from small business disagreements to more complex commercial relationships.

Mediation is often faster, less expensive and more discreet than formal legal proceedings. It keeps the parties in control of the outcome and preserves the possibility of an ongoing working relationship.

Common topics we help with

Business partnership disputes
Supplier and client disagreements
Contract-related disputes and misunderstandings
Payment and delivery disputes
Communication breakdowns between commercial parties
Disputes affecting ongoing business relationships
Avoiding costly and prolonged litigation where possible

Why consider mediation for a commercial dispute?

Formal legal proceedings can be expensive, time-consuming and unpredictable. Commercial mediation offers an alternative where both parties retain control, there is no judge imposing an outcome. The process is private, which protects commercial reputation and confidential information.

Even where parties cannot reach a full agreement, mediation often narrows the issues and improves communication, which can significantly reduce the time and cost of any further process.

What the process looks like

1
Initial enquiry

You contact us to describe the dispute. We confirm whether mediation may be appropriate and explain how the process would work for your circumstances.

2
Preparation

Each party is briefed individually. We discuss the key issues, the format of the session and any documents or background material that may assist the process.

3
Mediation session

A structured session, in person or online, facilitated by a neutral mediator. Both parties have the opportunity to present their position and explore options.

4
Resolution and documentation

Where an agreement is reached, it is documented. We can discuss what form that documentation should take. We recommend independent legal review before finalising.

Please note: This service provides general information only and does not constitute legal advice. Any agreements reached should be reviewed by independent legal advisers before being formalised or acted upon.
