Peter Frost, Partner in our London office, has published a post on our Employment Notes blog reviewing the current and potential use of ADR in employment disputes. The post, which was first published in the Employment Lawyers Association (ELA) Briefing March 2019, can be accessed here.
As we have previously reported, Peter has co-chaired various reports on this issue by the ELA's Arbitration and ADR Group. The findings of those reports are discussed in the briefing "Employment ADR: The future" prepared by our Employment team in 2018, which also considered data collected during the 2016-17 Global Pound Conference Series in the context of employment disputes in the key jurisdictions of Australia, France, Germany, Spain and the UK.
If you are interested in discussing the use of alternative methods for resolving employment disputes, whether that be introducing a workplace mediation scheme or exploring options for resolving an ad hoc dispute, please do get in touch with Peter or your usual Herbert Smith Freehills contact.
