    Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Scotland covers mediation, arbitration and other non-court dispute resolution processes within Scottish civil practice, used to resolve disputes between businesses and individuals. A solicitor in Scotland organises ADR, selects appropriate mediators or arbitrators, prepares submissions and directions, negotiates settlements, and drafts any required final agreements or orders, while considering the sheriff court and Court of Session context where an ADR outcome informs or precedes litigation.

    “Nicola Buchanan had conscientious approach to my problem and advised cost efficient approach. She didn't try to upsell me and was honest with what's possible and what's not in my case. Hopefully she can stay persuasive farther on)))”

    “Kee solicitors were extremely helpful from the initial introduction meeting to the very final court date, specifically Mr Gallagher who was very informative keeping me up-to date every step of the way. He understood the situation and circumstances and always communicated it in a very clear manner not only in court but to myself in terms that I could understand. The full team were always quick to respond via email and pass on information. I highly recommend this law firm if dealing with a difficult civil matter.”
