Alternative Dispute Resolution for the Media, Entertainment, Creative and Technology Industries

Marriott Harrison's Head of Media & Technology, Tony Morris, acts as both a mediator and arbitrator.

In an era when litigation costs continue to increase and the pathway to the courtroom is ever more fraught, when resources are better employed in creating rather then arguing, the commercially minded seek swift and financially sensible ways of dispute resolution.

Many courts now require parties to attempt to mediate before subjecting their dispute to trial or else explain why they have not done so. Consensual mediation under the control of a qualified professional with the requisite commercial experience and legal background often proves to be an efficient method for parties in opposition to settle their differences.

As an alternative to the often cumbersome and expensive procedures to which the courts must adhere parties may not only appoint an arbitrator but also determine the procedure by which their dispute is to be decided.

With his seniority and sector knowledge, his experience and expertise, Tony is especially well qualified to provide services in the resolution of disputes in the Media, Entertainment, Creative and Technology Industries.
