Mediation services
From Evan Wright, solicitor and partner at JMW Solicitors LLP, a full service top 100 law firm.
Precise and cost-effective dispute resolution from someone with the right mix of knowledge, empathy, experience and skill to make a big difference.
A varied background brings perspective
Spotting the need : After spending 27 years as a solicitor in a variety of sectors, I have encountered so many problems mediation could have resolved at a much earlier stage with less damage, heartache and cost.
Taking the first step : Acknowledging the benefits of mediation and introducing the idea to the other party can be a task in itself. I can help in taking the first step.
Building the solution : Sometimes it takes a mediator to see the wood for the trees in a complex situation. An independent eye with no loyalties, focused on reaching solutions everyone can live with.

Early Neutral Evaluation Early neutral evaluation (ENE) is a type of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that can help parties resolve their disputes without going to court. It involves an impartial evaluator who gives a non-binding opinion on the strengths and weaknesses of each party’s case, as well as the likely outcome of litigation and opinion on the approximate cost consequences. The evaluator will be an expert in their respective field of law. The evaluator may also suggest possible settlement options or areas of agreement. The ENE process is normally confidential. ENE can be used as a stand-alone assessment or as a precursor to mediation, where the parties use an evaluator’s opinion as a basis for further negotiation with the help of a mediator. An evaluator will not consider complex issues of fact. In other words, they will not hear all of the evidence usually presented at trial. They offer more of a reality check and a legal reference point for parties who may feel able to agree a settlement based upon an evaluator’s opinion. |

Expert Determination Expert determination (ED) is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that involves an independent and neutral expert who makes a binding decision on a disputed technical issue. It is a confidential, swift and cost-effective method that can avoid expensive and protracted litigation. Expert determination can be used as a stand-alone process or in conjunction with other ADR processes, such as mediation, where the expert can act as an authority on an important issue that needs to be resolved. The parties can agree on the scope, procedure and rules of the expert determination, together with the evidence to be considered. The decision is confidential and can be legally enforceable if the parties agree this as part of the framework. The expert can be appointed by the parties or by a neutral body. |
