NOTABLE CASES
MEDIATION
David is a CEDR trained and accredited mediator, obtaining his accreditation in 2015. He has particular experience acting as mediator in disputes involving property and the administration of estates (including claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975). He can draw upon a wide knowledge of business and property litigation to assist the parties in reaching a sound and practical resolution of their dispute.
His fee for a single day mediation that is to be held in the north-west or remotely (eg via Zoom) is £2000 plus VAT. This fee includes preparation and any preliminary meetings, as well as the mediation itself. His fee for longer mediations, or mediations that are held further afield, will be higher and can be discussed with his clerk. In the event that the parties wish to hold the mediation in Manchester, he can offer rooms in Chambers – which provide ample accommodation - at no extra cost.
