Alternative Dispute Resolution
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.
