Mediation Expert – Mediation Expert of the year 2022

In over 40 years as a lawyer and being twice divorced, I’ve seen too many costly and unnecessarily antagonistic cases go through the court process that should never have got that far. This is particularly true for divorce cases, including civil partnerships and child arrangements.

I’ve long thought that legal intervention and court should not be the only way forward when you’re having any sort of dispute. That’s why I trained as a Family Mediator in 2013 and then as a Civil & Commercial Mediator in 2018 /2019 (Including Employment & Workplace disputes).

I am also an Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.
