Mediation v Legal Action
​
-
Save time and legal fees:
Mediation - can be completed within days or weeks for a fraction of potential legal fees.
Legal action - cases take over a year to reach the UK courts, incurring potentially substantial costs.​​​​
​
-
Protect your business reputation:
Mediation - a fair, constructive and confidential process.
Legal action - an adversarial process usually conducted in the public domain.
​​
-
Preserves valuable relationships:
Mediation - an efficient process that fosters understanding and provides a way forward.
Legal action - as time passes, positions become entrenched and relationships disintegrate.
​
-
Focuses on solutions, not blame:
Mediation - the parties collaborate to find a mutually beneficial solution.
Legal action - often delivers a win/lose outcome, sometimes to the satisfaction of no-one.
