Our assessors, mediators and arbitrators are carefully chosen from a pool of practitioners who have domain experience in areas such as local government, health, planning, aviation, police, fire and transport.
We believe that our alternative mechanism for dispute resolution is timely and much needed, particularly as most process-related disputes have the potential to be settled much earlier and more amicably.

In an increasingly complex landscape of rights it is often hard to determine if a public consultation is flawed or vulnerable to challenge without expert assessment.
We offer low-cost routes to help you understand if there are grounds for compliant based on a decade of experience evaluating consultations and their compliance with legal principles in the UK.
The process of public consultation is full of safeguards to ensure that it is trustworthy and consultee interests are safeguarded. However, sometimes things can go wrong.
Our new suite of alternative dispute resolution services covers all the possibilities without replicating the costs, delay and bad press associated with resolving issues publicly in Court.
Of the 12 consultation-related Judicial Reviews launched in 2020, the estimated average legal fees for each case were in the region of £30,000, while a typical delay for court proceedings is six months.
MIDAS Resolve offers a cost-effective alternative to challenging public consultations.
