- Building on our experience in working closely in partnership with lawyer colleagues in the family field, we can assist you in creating assured professional relationships that meet your clients’ expectations for cost-effective outcomes
- We are local and available
- Our success rates are high – around 80% across all fields of conflict, in over 1,000 cases in the last 15 years
- We are particularly experienced in creating a bespoke mediation process for individual clients and their particular disputes, however entrenched or complex
- Whilst we are happy to mediate in any civil case where it might seem cost-effective to do so, we have a particular interest in those “hybrid” disputes which have elements of both relationship and commercial interests, such as TOLATA or inheritance claims
