Efficient, Cost-Effective Mediation Services Offered Nationwide
At Geaney Solicitors, we offer practical, solutions-focused mediation services for clients seeking to resolve disputes without the cost, stress, or delays of litigation. Whether you're a business facing a contract disagreement or a sports participant or organisation involved in a disciplinary or governance issue, our mediation services provide a structured and confidential route to resolution.
Commercial Mediation
Mediation is an increasingly popular method of resolving commercial and contractual disputes in Ireland. At Geaney Solicitors, we help companies, partnerships, and individuals settle disagreements around business contracts, service-level disputes, partnership breakdowns, and more.
We act as impartial facilitators, guiding both parties through a clear process that allows for open discussion, negotiation, and mutually beneficial outcomes. Mediation is quicker, more cost-effective, and more flexible than going to court - and importantly, it helps preserve valuable business relationships.
Common areas where commercial mediation can be effective include:
Breach of contract disputes
Professional services disagreements
Supplier or distribution disputes
Partnership or shareholder conflicts
Employment and workplace disputes
Sports Mediation
Led by Niall Geaney - an experienced solicitor with a strong profile in the sports law sector - we bring specialist expertise to sports mediation. Whether you’re an individual athlete, club, coach, governing body or commercial partner, we understand the particular pressures and sensitivities involved in sports-related disputes.
Sports mediation can be a highly effective way to resolve issues discreetly and constructively, particularly where disciplinary, selection, eligibility, or contractual matters are at stake. We combine sector-specific insight with impartial mediation skills to help all parties reach an outcome that protects reputations, preserves relationships, and avoids escalation.
Our sports mediation experience covers:
Player-club or coach disputes
Sponsorship and endorsement disagreements
Contract termination issues
Selection or eligibility challenges
Disciplinary and conduct-related matters
