Mediation
“Do you know how much your day in court will cost you in time, stress and money?”
A properly run mediation can in theory settle your case in a day. You can go home with a written agreement and get on with your life.
Accredited mediators, for families and for business.
Mediation is an alternative to expensive and destructive litigation. The mediator is not a judge: the parties stay in control of their dispute instead of leaving it to the uncertainty of a court judgment.
- Family mediation. Accredited family law mediators for family finances, property and the care of children.
- Civil and commercial mediation. Michael Morgan, solicitor and RICS accredited mediator, with a particular interest in probate and property matters.
