Personal Injury Mediation Overview
What we offer in personal injury mediation
Our team of specially trained personal injury mediators includes several of the leading names in the field, judicial appointees, and barristers ranked across the leading legal directories, providing a broad range of experience and know-how from top-to-bottom.
Expertise
The team’s widely recognised expertise in both contested personal injury litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution – representing both claimants and defendants in all manner of disputes – means they understand the concerns and priorities of both sides, including the effect of the unique costs framework in personal injury litigation, which they can draw on to help you find quick, practical, workable solutions without the stress, cost and uncertainty of court.
They can quickly work through complicated legal and factual issues, getting to the heart of a dispute, sense-checking opposing views and offering the fresh perspective of a neutral intermediary. They can provide a safe, constructive environment to discuss things away from the all-or-nothing, zero-sum atmosphere of the courtroom.
Why mediation
Mediation has several advantages:
- It can allow claims to be settled in a shorter period of time
- It avoids the expense and stress of proceeding to trial
- It allows those involved to quickly get to the heart of the issues and find a realistic route to settlement and resolution of claims
Our mediation facilities
Our mediators are happy to travel to other venues, but Chambers regularly hosts mediations in our own suite of rooms for no additional charge. We have excellent, modern and fully equipped, scalable conference facilities. Our main conference room can comfortably house up to 24 people and we offer a number of smaller rooms to suit varying sizes of mediation teams. Video conferencing is available along with high speed WiFi, and all necessary catering and refreshments can be provided.
Our clerks offer efficient administrative support to ensure that your mediation is handled smoothly from start to finish.
Arranging a mediation – next steps
Our mediators charge a fixed fee for mediating, whether for a whole day, or for longer or shorter sessions. You will find that our rates are highly competitive. Please contact our clerks to discuss fees.
Our mediators are always pleased to talk informally about potential or upcoming mediations, and are well placed to offer guidance on sensitive issues such as process design, engagement and preparation. Do get in touch if you would welcome a conversation and we will arrange for one of our team to talk to you.
Once a mediation is booked we will provide a timetable for the preparation and exchange of paperwork. In appropriate cases our mediators will offer a pre-mediation online meeting with each team separately (without additional charge); usually this will take place shortly before the mediation.
