Every case has some element of risk
No matter how good a lawyer you are, litigation is risky. That’s a fact*.
Lost cases mean dissatisfied clients and possibly fee income written off. I want to help you avoid both.
Skilled mediators facilitate resolution of even the most entrenched disputes. My neutral and confidential involvement through mediation means even if you don’t settle, you gain a fuller understanding of the issues, strengths and weakness, enhancing the quality of your advice to clients and reducing the potential for mishaps in court.
If you find out in court that your unanswerable case is answerable after all it’s too late to do anything about it. Far better to find out at a mediation and negotiate the damage limitation.
If you would like any information or advice about mediation just call me on 0845 056 3625.
*I can’t improve on the way Megarry J put it in John v Rees [1970] 1 Ch 345;
As everybody who has anything to do with the law well knows, the path of the law is strewn with examples of open and shut cases which, somehow, were not; of unanswerable charges which, in the event, were completely answered; of inexplicable conduct which was fully explained; of fixed and unalterable determinations that, by discussion, suffered a change.
