Professional Mediation Services

In today’s legal landscape, it has become a mandatory prerequisite to exhaust all avenues of resolution before proceeding to court in the event of a dispute. Mediation stands at the forefront of this approach as a quintessential form of ‘Alternative Dispute Resolution’. This method is meticulously tailored to assist parties in reaching amicable solutions outside the courtroom.

Consider the adage, “Nobody ever wanted a mortgage; they wanted a house.” This perfectly encapsulates the essence of mediation. It’s not merely about negotiating terms; it’s about delving into the core of what each party truly seeks and fostering a consensus that satisfies all involved.

Mediation transcends mere conflict resolution; it’s about understanding and aligning individual aspirations to achieve a collective agreement.

Understanding Mediation: A Legal Imperative in Dispute Resolution

At its core, mediation is a dynamic, confidential approach designed to resolve disagreements between individuals, businesses, or various organizations. This process is characterized by its flexibility and its focus on collaborative problem-solving.

Central to the mediation process is the role of the mediator. This individual is a neutral third party, equipped with specialised training to guide those in conflict towards a mutually acceptable agreement. Unlike a judge or arbitrator, the mediator does not impose decisions but facilitates discussions, helping parties to understand each other’s perspectives and find common ground.

The process begins with the crucial step of selecting a mediator. This decision is made collectively by all parties involved, ensuring impartiality and trust in the process. The mediator then plays a pivotal role in organising the mediation, including the coordination of who will attend the sessions. This inclusive approach ensures that everyone’s voice is heard and considered, laying the foundation for a fair and effective resolution.

About Us

Geoff obtained his law degree from the University of Kent and after qualifying as a solicitor in 1977 began his practice in the City of London. There he gained experience in heavyweight commercial law and litigation. After a number of years in the city Geoff decided to return home to Lancashire where he has practised in partnership or as an employed solicitor ever since.

With more than 40 years experience there is a very little that Geoff cannot advise upon and, over the years, he has built up a number of clients who rely on him for all their legal needs.
