Commercial property disputes can involve continuing relationships and operational needs that a damages figure alone will not address. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise clients in Central London on commercial property litigation, including how negotiation and alternative dispute resolution fit with court proceedings. We help assess the dispute and prepare for a useful resolution process without suggesting that participation guarantees agreement.

Choose a process suited to the issues

A disagreement about lease interpretation may need different preparation from one dominated by technical repair evidence. We consider the documents, parties and objectives before discussing suitable options. Mediation can allow commercial proposals beyond a narrow claim, while other methods may serve different purposes. The choice should follow the particular dispute, rather than an assumption that every property case needs the same meeting or expert process.

Prepare people as well as papers

Identify who has authority to negotiate and what information is needed to evaluate proposals. Consider the practical limits on payments, works or continued occupation before the discussion begins. We help organise the legal position and settlement objectives, with appropriate expert input. A productive process requires more than sending a bundle: the participants need to understand what can realistically be offered and approved.

Keep the court position under review

Under current civil procedure rules, the court may order parties to engage in ADR. Do not assume it is always optional or that attending requires accepting a settlement. We advise on relevant orders, ongoing obligations and the cost implications of conduct. Litigation and settlement assessment should remain connected, with any eventual agreement properly recorded and any existing proceedings dealt with through the appropriate steps.

Frequently asked questions

Can a court order ADR in a commercial property case?

Yes. Current court case-management powers include ordering ADR. Obtain advice on any direction and your response rather than relying on older statements that participation can never be required, while recognising that agreement itself is a separate matter.

Does attending mediation mean I must accept the other party's offer?

No. Participation and settlement are different. Prepare with legal advice so you understand the proposals, your authority and the consequences of any agreement, without treating attendance as a promise to concede the claim.

Will winning the case necessarily recover every legal cost I incur?

No. Costs are subject to the applicable rules and the court's assessment. Discuss exposure and potential recovery as part of the strategy rather than assuming a favourable result removes all financial risk of pursuing the dispute.
