Successful Outcomes

13th August 2010

This summer, so far, Alan Langleben has been appointed as mediator in three cases, and Philippa Dolan and Teresa Cullen in one matter each, with satisfactory outcomes in all instances.

We have held mediations in our offices, which are very well suited for this purpose. In the last week, Alan has been proposed as mediator for three more cases in August, September and October.

We also host an informal group of mediators, Central London Mediators, which we instigated, and have had several very succesful meetings here.
