IT Mediation

Overview

Innovations in the technology and telecommunications industries are documented daily in the headlines, as are the problems which arise when major projects go wrong. Technology-based projects come in many shapes and sizes but typically represent major investments, running over long periods of time, and often at the leading edge of innovation. Many are linked to key strategic or public policy initiatives, and routinely involve complex issues of software and hardware development, services delivery, technology rights and more.

Speedy resolution of such disputes is often crucial, particularly where the priority for both parties is to bring the project to a satisfactory conclusion rather than engage in lengthy and distracting litigation. Clients are therefore increasingly looking to CEDR Solve's technology and telecommunications specialists to achieve this. With expertise spanning the law, as lawyers and ex judges, as well as industry professionals, they have worked on some of the largest disputes in the field. This includes not only providing mediation, early neutral evaluation and expert determination in escalated disputes; clients in this field are also keen to involve expert neutrals in high profile projects, both to assist in the successful negotiation of contracts and ongoing conflict management.
