All About Mediation
I am a mediator but I have also practised as a litigation lawyer in court since 1993.
As a mediator I specialise in the field of legal disputes-in particular
- commercial disputes
- employment/employee disputes
- and personal injury disputes
Mediation is a far faster means of resolving disputes than going to court.
It is also a more productive, humane and cost-effective way to resolve any legal dispute.
For individuals, mediation provides a voice, direct involvement and control over outcome that they do not have to the same extent in a court context.
For businesses, corporate’s, insurance companies and commercial lenders it can lead to much quicker resolution with significantly lower legal/transactional costs than a court process that can drag on for years.
Individuals and businesses can use legal advisers in the mediation process; legal advisers are often an integral part of, and complimentary to, mediation.
