90% of disputes resolved in a day.

Commercial disputes are detrimental to business, and resolution via the court system creates uncertainty and expense. At Leonard Gray we have a high success rate of using the mediation process to solve disputes such as;

  • Intellectual property
  • Defamation
  • Compromise agreements
  • Debt recovery
  • Breach of contract
  • Planning issues
  • Landlord and tenant
  • Shareholder and partnership Issues
  • Board of director disputes

How it works

Parties normally agree to mediate for 3 hours at a fixed fee, or for an unspecified period of time which typically runs for 1 or 2 days at most.

Most mediations take place at our offices in Chelmsford in Essex with the parties, and potentially their advisors, in attendance.

Our mediator may look to resolve the dispute by a degree of shuttle diplomacy – seating the parties in separate rooms then visiting each room in turn, “separating the people from the problem”. Crucially, the mediator is completely independent, and experienced in bridging differences.

You are in control of the dispute at each stage; the mediator is there to help you negotiate your own settlement.
