Arbitration

Arbitration is an efficient and fast way to resolve disputes, particularly about valuation. Each party presents their case to the arbitrator, who weigh up the evidence and gives his award. Simon Shouler FRICS has been an arbitrator since 1997, and accepts private appointments as well as regularly receiving appointments from the President of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

Dispute resolution by independent expert is also a common process. Here the Expert, while listening to what parties have to say, will make up his own mind about the problem, relying on his own investigations and expertise. Likewise our more experienced partners accept appointments to make Expert Determinations in the areas of their competence.

Our partners are also ready to prepare submissions for parties whose disputes are going to arbitration or expert determination.
