One of the first solicitors to be involved in mediation. A member of the Solicitors Family Law Association, the Family Mediators Association, National Family Mediation and the UK College of Family Mediators. Joined Lyons Davidson in September 1999 to establish a family mediation service, initially available privately to clients. In June Lyons Davidson became one of the first local solicitors to be awarded a government contract to provide free family mediation for those financially eligible. My practice as a family solicitor has convinced me that family mediation can bring significant benefits over traditional approaches to the resolution of disputes arising out of family breakdown.
Mediation can produce dramatic savings in time, cost and stress.
Negotiation and compromise always has to be made when a couple separate. I believe that mediation can create an atmosphere where this happens sooner rather than later. Joined Lyons Davidson 1996. I enjoy offering practical solutions to my clients and straight forward guidance through the minefield of employment law. There are usually a number of employment issues lurking in any one particular case.
