Litigation in any form is time-consuming, expensive and stressful. Mediation is a recognised alternative to litigation.  It is cost-effective and it works, not least because it puts the resolution of disputes back into the parties' own hands.

I have.more than 20 years' experience of mediation. These mediations have included:
 
•    A multi-million pound claim for negligent investment advice
•    Acting for a local authority in relation to a SWAPs transaction
•    A quasi partnership claim relating to a business idea
•    Acting for a financial adviser in relation to a film scheme dispute
•    Acting for a team exiting a substantial insolvency practice
•    Acting for a property developer against a bank 
•    Acting in a multi party dispute relating to various guarantees
 
I have been involved in many mediations relating to claims against professional advisers and in particular pensions specialists and solicitors.  I have also acted in a number of claims against insurance companies in connection with disputed insurance cover.
