Mark has over 25 years experience as a solicitor. He was admitted to the roll in 1985. Mark is our Managing Partner and a solicitor with considerable experience of advising clients on Commercial and Private law issues as well as being a qualified Mediator.
Mark has been a qualified commercial mediator since 2005 and qualified in 2010 as a family mediator.
Mark’s 25 years practice experience and MBA business qualification makes him a good choice for mediating many different types of issues including the following:
- Family property disagreements
- Building disputes
- Will disputes
- Contractual disputes
- Partnership and business disputes
- Employer/Employee disputes
- Company disputes
- Landlord and Tenant disputes ( commercial and domestic)
- Property and Boundary disputes
Mark is happy to talk to people considering mediation and to their legal advisers. We can mediate where lawyers are present and when they are not. Our most successful mediations are shuttle mediations and many disputes can be resolved in this way. Mark has recently said:
“too much money and time is needlessly spent on legal proceedings, many of which can be resolved at a fraction of the cost by mediation and avoiding the stress of the prospect of going to court”.
