Dispute Resolution

Disputes can be disruptive and costly, but they don’t always need to end in court. At Aria Grace Law CIC, we focus on resolving disagreements fairly, ethically and efficiently. Our expertise in mediation, arbitration, expert determination and early neutral evaluation helps parties reach solutions that save time and reduce expense. Whether acting as mediators, arbitrators or representing clients in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes, we aim to achieve outcomes that preserve relationships and avoid unnecessary litigation.

ADR is now a key part of civil justice, often mandatory before court proceedings. We work with companies, partnerships, trustees and individuals to resolve disputes involving contracts, property, employment and governance. Our lawyers handle matters of all sizes, including complex claims up to £300 million, and are accredited by leading bodies such as the Society of Mediators and the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.

Our approach combines legal expertise with practical insight. We interpret agreements, assess liability and provide clear guidance on likely outcomes, helping parties make informed decisions. Dispute resolution can take place in person or online, and selecting the right process is crucial. We advise on mediation, arbitration, expert determination and early neutral evaluation – ensuring the method chosen fits the nature of the dispute and the goals of those involved.

How we do things differently

1. A model built on fairness

We operate as a Community Interest Company, meaning our profits don’t line shareholders’ pockets, they fund social impact. When you work with us, you’re choosing a legal partner that reinvests in education, environmental justice and grassroots initiatives. It’s law with purpose, designed to create value beyond the transaction.

2. Experienced lawyers, not billable quotas

Our lawyers keep 90% of fees, attracting senior talent from magic circle and elite firms. This means you work with experts who prioritise quality and outcomes, not billable-hour targets. Every piece of advice reflects decades of experience and a commitment to doing law differently.

3. Transparent pricing, no surprises

We believe in clarity – not just in contracts, but in costs. Our pricing is modular and transparent, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden extras, no unexpected charges, just fair, predictable fees.

4. Advice that works in practice

Legal advice should empower, not confuse. We deliver solutions that are practical, actionable and aligned with your business goals. Whether you need a single agreement or a suite of contracts, our focus is on clarity, efficiency and measurable impact.
