I am one of the UK’s leading commercial mediators and I am ranked in the Legal 500. I have a sure grasp of legal issues but I don’t just see problems through a legal prism. What I do is different. As a deal-maker and former top-ranked GC, I also get the commercial picture and the underlying personal dynamics. I know what it feels like, having mediated my own disputes as a client, and I know how to bring hostile parties together and then drive the process. As long as they want to settle, I make sure they do, however intractable the dispute may seem. Quotes from clients: ‘I don’t think I have ever come across anyone who has worked so hard to make the mediation work. That was great.’ Solicitor, IP dispute ‘Andrew resolved the issues in one day, as opposed to months of arbitration. He understood the client’s needs and objectives, handled matters well… and was aware and proactive. Without him, we simply wouldn’t have got a deal.’ Solicitor, Insurance dispute ‘Andrew did a fantastic job and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again’. Solicitor, Joint Venture termination dispute
