LADR (LambBuilding Alternative Dispute Resolution) offers mediation and other alternative dispute resolution services to providers of legal services, customer care departments, court services and commercial organisations. We also offer our services to members of the public who wish to resolve their dispute quickly and more cheaply than by court action.

We have a formidable team of 21 accredited mediators (registered by the Bar Council and the Civil Mediation Council) who bring to mediation a broad diversity of expertise - from all forms of commercial disputes and contractual diputes, personal injury and professional negligence claims, to employment, and workplace conflicts, property and boundary disputes, landlord & tenant, construction, and planning cases, as well as family litigation.

LADR is registered by the Civil Mediation Council as a mediation provider. LADR is also a designated provider of mediation services to the National Mediation Helpline in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Central and Greater London, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Surrey, Sussex and Warwickshire.

Our mediators are friendly and approachable, with years of legal experience behind them. They have all been trained in the psychological underpinning of disputes and so have an edge on mediators trained elsewhere, with the skills to deal with disputes of a high emotional content. They are well able to promote, as far as possible, common ground and a realistic settlement of a dispute between parties who at the outset may be a long way apart.

Our Clerks can advise on the appropriate mediator, fees, and the range of mediation services provided by LADR, which include ENE (Early Neutral Evaluation), Judicial Appraisal and Expert Determination.
