How to resolve a breach of contract
There are two main ways contract disputes are resolved.
Mediation: Mediation is a process used to settle disputes in a diverse, extensive range of situations. The mediator is a facilitator, not a judge, and therefore does not take sides. Mediation is a structured, interactive process whereby an individual, such as a solicitor or adviser, who is impartial and neutral, helps the parties involved to reach a mutually satisfactory settlement. The process is informal, flexible, voluntary, and confidential. Mediation involves limited costs and is very speedy, with high success rates.
Litigation: Litigation is the process of taking a disagreement to a court of law, whether that be in the County Court, High Court or at arbitration. Litigation is often expensive and protracted, but sometimes unavoidable.
We will help you understand all of your options and then agree with you the best strategy, keeping the need to protect your reputation and relationships at the forefront.
