In addition to the specialist areas listed elsewhere on this website, Stuart has mediated General Commercial contract disputes across almost all industry sectors (a list is provided in the link below) and covering issues such as contract formation, pre-contractual provision, repudiation and rescission, interpretation and implied terms, delay, frustration, force-majeure, quality and delay, pricing issues such as overage and rebates, performance metrics and minimum volume rights, formalities and notices and termination, as well as disputes and renegotiations of joint venture agreements.  These disputes have often been between international parties and across multiple jurisdictions, and sometimes involving public bodies and national governments and local authorities.  Foreign laws have sometimes been involved.  Dispute values range from very small sums, to hundreds of millions sterling.

I have had the opportunity to experience, first hand, a significant number of the most highly regarded mediators in this country in operation. Stuart Chapman is, in my view, up there with the best of them. He has the key skills required. He is able to bring his substantial legal experience to bear in quickly understanding complex issues. He also has the necessary "people skills". He develops trust with the parties and is patiently persistent in assisting them towards a consensual resolution.
