At Brodies we understand when litigation is the best option for our clients, but also when their interests are best served by resolution of disputes through alternative channels.
In a market where reputational risk, confidentiality, flexibility of process, speed of resolution and cost control play increasingly significant roles in the approach to business and decision making, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is becoming increasingly popular.
Our ADR practice reflects the needs of our clients, and we continue to invest in the development of our practice and the skills of our specialist lawyers in this area. Our lawyers are able to deal with disputes and to provide support and guidance to clients on a local, national and international level.
The people involved had a great knowledge and personal manner, which was helpful in periods where emotions were running high. Their proactive and professional approach as well as ability to quickly build relationships were key factors that made the experience positive.

We offer businesses and organisations from all sectors a full ADR service provided by our team of more than 20 experienced and accredited lawyers.
We work hand in hand with clients to identify the method of dispute resolution that best fits their objectives, priorities, expectations and culture. From mediation, arbitration, adjudication and expert determination, we can draw on our expertise of all forms of ADR to advise on the most appropriate and cost-effective option.
The entire team worked well with our business and was flexible when we needed advice. At times, we were speaking to them as much as anyone in our own business.
