Local Authority

As part of the public sector, Local Authorities (LA) has many dimensions which relate back to their responsibility and accountability to central government.

Whilst many of the disagreements a LA may experience are suitable for most mediators such as public injury, workplace, service provision, tenant, neighbour and special interest group disputes, there are also many specialist areas.

Infrastructure projects, education, healthcare provision, procurement contracts are all usually bound by terms of contract and/ or extensive regulations. They require a more experienced and specialist mediator who is familiar with dispute provisions within the contracts and who understands the complexity contracts and regulations can bring.

Complex areas are susceptible to a range of disputes such as the actual interpretation or application of the contractual terms/ regulations, termination of contract, service provision, financing or time over-run.

Collis Mediation Ltd has a diverse panel of experts who have attained senior level experience and who are regularly called upon to resolve complex disputes. Our partner mediators include solicitors, barristers, surveyors, architects, arbitrators, public sector specialists, education and construction professionals.
