Creative Resolution of Employment Disputes

 

All the mediators on the Promediate panel are passionate about helping people resolve their disputes and move on with their lives.

 

Did you know that the settlement rate of cases in the High Court Chancery Division ranges between 92.3% – 94.4%? Typically, the majority of cases issued in any Court end up being settled before trial. With the stress and time involved in Court and Tribunal proceedings, Court fees increasing, lawyers’ costs being irrecoverable in Small Claims and Employment Tribunals and the Courts penalising litigants for not mediating, people are interested in settling at an early stage.

Mediation Set up Service

If you contact us without first getting the other person or business to agree to use our service, we will contact them to try to obtain their agreement.

In those circumstances we do charge a set up fee for this service. It is sometimes possible to resolve your dispute informally after one or two calls without even booking a mediation appointment!

When we receive an initial enquiry we crack on immediately trying to make contact with the other side in the dispute, emailing info, leaving messages on the telephone and even text messages. Our working hours are never 9-5 and we will often make contact at a time that meets the needs of our clients, evenings and weekends included.

Sometimes one side requires key information before they will agree to mediate. We will often liaise with all concerned to make sure this is shared. Once contact is made there will be further to-ing and fro-ing to set up the appointment, documents sent out and making sure everyone is comfortable with the process.

We charge the following fees for contacting the other party in this way:

Value of Goods or services:

Up to £1,000 – £10 plus VAT

– £2,500       – £25 plus VAT

–  £2,500 upwards – £50 plus VAT
