Our Services and Costs

Our Services

We offer the following Mediation services:

Professional negligence is where a professional fails to provide duty of care to their client, meaning that harm to people or property has occurred because of improper advice and precautions by the professional.

A personal injury is a legal term to describe physical or phycological harm to your person, as opposed to your property. People may claim compensation if they are injured because of an accident which was not their fault – this is referred to as a personal injury claim.

Breach of contract is a violation of any of the agreed-upon terms and conditions of a binding contract. The breach could be anything from a delinquent payment to a more serious violation such as the failure to deliver a promised asset. A contract is binding.

Money disputes If you have a financial dispute with another person or organisation, we recommend first trying to resolve the issue through alternative dispute resolution methods.

Bankruptcy is a legal process through which people or other entities who cannot repay debts to creditors may seek relief from some or all their debts. In most jurisdictions, bankruptcy is imposed by a court order, often initiated by the debtor.

A dispute relating to the interest of someone claiming an entitlement to a grant of probate or to letters of administration. Personal Representatives (PRs) Claims can include claims for losses caused by PRs arising out of a breach of their duties as a PR or as a trustee.

A trust dispute is any dispute that relates to the administration or running of a trust.

A dispute is a serious disagreement within a charity, which left unresolved, can lead to a breakdown in the effective governance and day to day management of a charity. Disputes most often occur in membership charities but can also arise within the trustee body and between trustees of different charities.

Disputes between guardians. Sometimes guardians cannot agree on arrangements for children, such as where they will live or go to school. Guardians can access services outside of court to help settle these matters.

A land dispute occurs when two separate entities feel like they both have a legal claim to a piece of property. This may be a disagreement about property lines, a bank foreclosure, or even a clerical error that created two rightful owners. If the matter cannot be settled civilly, then the matter is brought before a judge for a final determination.

Disputes with neighbours occur frequently and range from issues with boundaries, to noise, trees, parking, mess, and even anti-social behaviour.

IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish. Disputes occur when the Intellectual rights are breached. Infringement is a legal term for an act that means breaking a law. IP rights are infringed when a product, creation or invention protected by IP laws are exploited, copied, or otherwise used without having the proper authorisation, permission or allowance from the person who owns those rights or their representative.

The tort of defamation acts to redress unjustified injury to a person’s reputation and can be divided into two areas, slander, and libel. Slander is the publication of defamatory words or actions in a temporary form, for example by spoken word. Libel is the publication of defamatory materials in permanent form.

Any dispute arising from actual or alleged: unfair or wrongful dismissal, discrimination, denial of natural justice, workplace harassment, unfair or wrongful demotion (or failure to promote, employ or recommend for employment) of any person (including an Employee) or misleading representation or advertising with respect to employment, breach of a contract of employment, or any violation of any law concerning employment.
