Commercial Mediation in Liverpool

Commercial mediation in Liverpool

ProMediate has a strong connection with Liverpool and the wider North West, and much of our work comes from the region's solicitors, businesses and insurers. Whether a dispute is heading for the Liverpool courts or has not yet reached the stage of formal proceedings, mediation offers a private forum in which the parties can test their positions and negotiate on their own terms.

In-person mediation in Liverpool city centre

In-person mediations can be held at 7 Harrington Street Chambers in Liverpool city centre, subject to room availability and agreement between the parties. The venue sits in Liverpool's legal and commercial district and is convenient for the city's courts and transport links.

Commercial disputes suitable for mediation

• Breach of commercial contracts and unpaid invoices
• Fallings-out between partners, directors and shareholders
• Commercial property, lease and boundary disputes
• Claims against solicitors, accountants and surveyors for professional negligence
• Construction and insurance claims
• Contested estates and inheritance disputes

Our mediators

ProMediate's panel includes mediators with legal and commercial backgrounds who are used to working with represented and unrepresented parties alike. You can read their profiles and choose a mediator on our mediators page.

In-person and remote mediation

Some disputes benefit from everyone being in the same building — particularly where documents need to be worked through together or trust has broken down. Others are handled just as effectively on screen, saving travel time and venue costs. We offer both, and online mediation can be combined with an in-person session if that suits the parties.

How the process works

Everything said in mediation is confidential and without prejudice, so it cannot be relied on in court if the case does not settle. The mediator does not decide the outcome; the parties keep control and are bound only by terms they sign. Mediation can happen before a claim is issued, during proceedings or shortly before trial. See our step-by-step guide.

Fees

Our mediation fees are published and quoted in writing, reflecting the value and complexity of the dispute and the time required. Venue costs, if any, are confirmed when the booking is made.
