Alternative Dispute Resolution Services

Caribbean courts are backlogged and in many instances it takes years for a legal case to get through the court system. We believe that not all disputes need to be resolved in a courtroom.

Alternative Dispute Resolution has proven to be less formal, less expensive, less time consuming. Our team of professionals are dedicated to assisting corporations, business persons and Attorneys whether local or international, doing business in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, to resolve their particular dispute in an expeditious and cost effective manner.

Arbitration

In commercial disputes, arbitration is recognized internationally as a popular alternative to litigation.

Business people prefer the privacy of the process which they own and direct, reducing court formalities and scheduling conflicts. They look to the skill and expertise of the Arbitrator to guide their process and welcome the fact that decisions are binding upon the parties.

We will help you draft your arbitration clause for inclusion uno your contracts, select an Arbitrator, finalist your agreement to arbitrate, determine the rules and procedure for the arbitration, and schedule pre-arbitration conferences.

Our team of skilled in-house and affiliated Arbitrators are available for appointment.

Mediation

Our mediators facilitate a process in which parties to a dispute may participate in a facilitated negotiation in which a neutral third party helps them to fashion a solution to their problem or controversy rather than continue to prosecute positional interests which often result in win/lose outcomes, destruction of relationships and no real closure for both parties.
