Effective Dispute Solutions Limited

Effective Dispute Solutions Limited is a UK-based mediation firm led by Harvinder Singh Bhurji, offering civil, commercial, workplace, family, and boundary dispute resolution. The business has 24 years of experience, has completed over 6000 mediations, and holds a 90% success rate. They operate from 41 Hanover Road, Birmingham, and serve clients globally through in-person travel or online Zoom sessions.

The firm operates on a voluntary basis, meaning both parties must agree to participate, but they will actively persuade reluctant parties by highlighting the benefits of the process. There is no obligation to proceed if one side refuses, and the process is entirely confidential from the initial contact through to the final agreement. All discussions remain private unless explicit permission is given to share them.

They can initiate the mediation process within 14 days of receiving initial contact, aiming to resolve disputes in just 4 to 8 hours. This rapid turnaround contrasts sharply with the months or years often required by court or tribunal actions. The service is available in person or remotely via the Zoom video platform.

Their pricing structure includes daily, half-day, and pro rota rates, with no VAT applied in certain cases to offer up to a 20% saving. They claim to be up to 50% cheaper than the competition while avoiding extra admin or preparation costs. A free, no-obligation consultation is required before a tailored quote is emailed to the client.

The business is located at 41 Hanover Road, Birmingham, West Midlands, B65 9EB, and their mediators travel to clients anywhere in the UK at no extra charge. For international disputes, travel costs such as flights and hotels are charged at actual cost. They also offer online mediation to eliminate travel time and room hire fees entirely.

Their team includes accredited mediators like Harvinder Singh Bhurji, who has 24 years of experience and specialisms in racial discrimination and bullying, and Jane Walmsley, a barrister with 45+ years of experience. Other experts include Paul Balen, a solicitor with 17 years of mediation experience, and Dr. Michael Butterworth, a dentist and commercial mediator. The team covers a wide range of specialisms from property to clinical negligence.

They offer a range of services including civil and commercial mediation, workplace and employment mediation, family mediation, and mediation observations. They also provide commercial and workplace mediation training, as well as telephone mediation services. Online mediation via Zoom is a core feature for those preferring remote resolution.

Once an agreement is reached, it is usually enshrined within a consent order if court proceedings have already started. If no court action has commenced, the written agreement is drawn up as a binding contract. This ensures the resolution is legally enforceable and final.

The firm states that their process is 100% confidential and without prejudice, meaning no one attending can discuss the details with outside persons, including judges. This confidentiality extends from the moment of contact until the mediation concludes. It allows parties to speak freely without fear of external judgment.

They are accredited by the Civil Mediation Council and are a designated provider to His Majesty’s Courts Service and the National Mediation Helpline. They also hold a Hiscox Business Insurance Policy Number 15096671 with reference ZA040990. Their company number is 05726147.

They state that mediation saves money by avoiding expensive solicitors, court fees, and expert costs, allowing clients to keep their hard-earned funds. It also saves time by ending disputes in hours rather than months or years. Finally, it ends worry by removing the stress, sleepless nights, and uncertainty associated with formal legal battles.

They offer a practice session for clients who are not IT literate to ensure they are fully ready for online mediation via Zoom. The service is designed to be convenient, with mediators covering the whole of the UK and traveling to clients wherever they are based. They aim to provide a clear outcome without the need for cross-examination or a judge.
