Alternative Dispute Resolution

The team at Gherson are experts in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). ADR is now increasingly being used by a number of parties to resolve their disputes out of Court. We will manage the dispute resolution process efficiently and effectively using ADR procedures such as arbitration, mediation, adjudication and expert determination.
