Mediation

We believe that Commercial Litigation pursued through the Courts should always be viewed as a last resort. A number of options exist for businesses to resolve their disputes long before traditional litigation is required.

Ashton Morton Slack is proud to be one of only a small group of firms able to offer such a specialised service within our region.

Mediation involves the participation of a trained mediator, who acts as a neutral, aiding the parties in the resolution of their dispute. The process is completely voluntary and the mediators cannot make the decision, they are simply there to facilitate an agreement if possible.

Alternatives to traditional forms of litigation are increasingly popular in business, as they frequently produce results in a more effective manner and often allow a positive relationship to be maintained between both parties.
