Brookers Alternative Dispute Resolution Precedents is a self-contained collection of checklists, forms and precedents and practical advice on alternative methods of resolving disputes and avoiding litigation.

The accompanying commentary gives an excellent summary of the ambit of alternative dispute resolution and its two main components (arbitration and mediation).

The experienced author team also includes relevant precedents (including third party materials) for the inclusion of alternative dispute resolution clauses in contracts, as well as standard forms for setting up an alternative dispute resolution process.

The commentary has a highly practical focus. Links to appropriate documents, forms and precedents are supplemented with information on how (and where) to find an arbitrator or mediator.

Our legally-qualified in-house editorial team ensures all information and documents are kept up-to-date and will always conform to the current law or changes in business practice.
