We are proud to announce that Robert Bryars, head of the Business Division, has gained the prestigious accreditation as a corporate mediator.
Robert is now one of only a handful of legal professionals in the region qualified to carry out this increasingly vital area of dispute resolution.
Alternatives to traditional forms of litigation, known as alternative dispute resolution (ADR) are becoming increasingly popular in business.Mediation is usually much cheaper than resorting to litigation; it also enables both parties to retain some kind of relationship after the mediation.The popularity of ADR also received a boost with Lord Woolf's recent reforms, promoting the use of ADR.
"Our new mediation skills are an importance addition, not only to Ashton Morton Slack, but also to the legal and commercial communities in our region" commented Robert, who can now act as a mediator himself or represent people in mediations.
