Where  disputes end and  conversations start…


Crowther Mediation is the first independent mediation practice in the UAE with specialities in civil, family and workplace mediation and training

Why mediate?

Mediation is a process which allows those in dispute to engage with one another to find a solution, without the need for court intervention. Mediation provides a far more cost-effective means of resolving disputes over a significantly shorter period of time than court proceedings, allowing families to move on with new beginnings and businesses to return to business.

You can find more information relating to timescales and costs on our services page.
