Our team
Our specialist team consist of qualified civil mediators. We regularly assist clients with various forms of alternative dispute resolution.
We aim to offer good value for money to our clients, tailoring our advice to the size and complexity of the case.
We are prepared to consider alternative forms of funding in appropriate cases. However, we do not have a contract for civil publicly funded work and do not therefore offer legal aid for civil disputes.
If you require more information about particular types of dispute, please refer to the related services link below.
