I am a mediator of commercial disputes and before that I was a disputes solicitor with almost 30 years experience, the last 18 as a partner at one of the UK’s leading commercial and professional services law firms, with extensive experience of resolving commercial, company, professional indemnity and insurance disputes.
It is obvious to me when a party has modelled the litigation risk prior to a mediation – they are well prepared, adaptable and have a clear and purposeful negotiation strategy.
