Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

Mediation as a Dispute Resolution mechanism is gaining increased popularity in the Cayman Islands, particularly following the implementation of Practice Direction 3 of 2022 dated 22 August 2022, which encourages the use of judicial mediation.

Stuarts’ litigation attorneys have considerable experience of advising parties in litigation on the use of mediation as a dispute resolution tool and have participated in numerous successful mediations.

Stuarts’ Head of Litigation, Richard Annette, is a qualified mediator with over 20 years' experience.
