Meditation, often referred to as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a method of resolving disputes without the complexities and costs associated with court proceedings. Whenever possible we can offer ADR - an approach that could save you in overall costs and your own time.

The key to mediation success is that it ensures that both parties have representatives present who have authority to settle and who are addressing their mind to settlement at the same time. In addition, some external pressure is applied by the facilitating role of the mediator and the fact that limited time may be available for the mediation to run its course. Indeed, the trend is towards abridged mediations where a short fixed time is allowed and Henmans are actively involved in advising on this form of ADR.
