Non-Court Dispute Resolution (NCDR) can offer families a more flexible alternative to court proceedings.

It offers a more cost effective approach and allows clients greater control over when and where the process takes place.

There can also be greater choice over who helps resolve a dispute. For example, arbitration allows clients to select an arbitrator with experience in the particular issue they are facing.

However, at Hall Brown, we understand that NCDR is not right for everyone. Both parties need to be willing to engage with the process and there are circumstances where attempting to negotiate may not be appropriate.

In this video, Sarah Manning, our Head of NCDR, and Alison Fernandes, Partner and Head of Sheffield, help clients understand both the benefits and limitations of NCDR so they can make an informed decision about the right route for them.
