Employment Mediation

Particular Focus on: 

Mediation is a process that can be used to help those involved resolve any type of employment dispute. It is a collaborative rather than an adversarial process that seeks to bring parties together to discuss issues with an aim of resolving the dispute. Mediation is usually quicker and cheaper than most dispute resolution options such a litigation. In addition, it has proved to be significantly more successful than litigation in ensuring an ongoing relationship between the parties which can be an invaluable benefit when dealing with employment relationships. 

We are fortunate to have two trained and accredited mediators on our team. Both are also  qualified employment solicitors.  

When mediation can be used:

  • Mediation can run parallel to other procedures e.g grievance, disciplinary or tribunals;
  • Disputes between employees;
  • Disputes between employers and employees;
  • Multi-party disputes;
  • Inter-director disputes;
  • Disputes between the board and a director; and
  • Contractor disputes.
Types of dispute: 

Mediation can be used in any type of dispute, for example:

  • Contractual matters;
  • Conduct;
  • Bullying and harassment;
  • Discrimination;
