Commercial Mediation in London

Commercial mediation in London

London disputes often involve several parties, substantial documents and advisers based in different cities. ProMediate arranges commercial mediations for London parties and for clients elsewhere whose counterparties or lawyers are based in the capital. Our commercial mediation page explains how we work more generally.

Central London mediation venue

ProMediate can arrange in-person commercial mediations at Whitestone Chambers in central London, subject to room availability and agreement. It gives parties who prefer a face-to-face meeting a central option close to the Temple and the City.

• Contract and supply-chain disputes
• Shareholder, partnership and joint-venture disagreements

Experienced commercial mediators

Our mediators combine legal training with practical commercial experience and are comfortable with complex, document-heavy and multi-party matters. Profiles, including each mediator's background and areas of practice, are on our mediators page.

In-person versus remote mediation

Meeting in person can help where a long-standing commercial relationship is at stake or where the parties need to read the room. Remote sessions avoid travel into London altogether and make it easier to involve decision-makers who are abroad or on the move. Read about our online mediation service to weigh up the options.

Choosing between them

Consider the number of participants, the need for private breakout rooms, the location of those with settlement authority and the cost of travel relative to the sums in issue.

The mediation process

The discussions are confidential and without prejudice, and the parties — not a court — decide whether and on what terms to settle. Mediation may be used before litigation begins, at any point during proceedings, or as trial approaches. Our mediation process guide covers preparation, the day itself and settlement agreements.

Fees

Details of how our charges are calculated are set out on our fees page; every mediation is quoted in writing in advance.
