Before contacting my Clerk, please email him a brief summary about the following:

- Who are the parties and if legally represented who are their lawyers?
- Where are the parties and their lawyers located?
- Have all parties involved agreed to Mediation?

- What is the time frame for starting and conducting the Mediation?
Please note:
- I do not undertake any Public Access work or conduct litigation.
- I only undertake cases where the amount in dispute is below £2.5 million.
- I only mediate Contentious Probate; Cultural Heritage; Music and Performers’ Rights’ Disputes.
- Mediators do not provide commercial, legal, or tax advice, and do not draft settlement agreements.
- I charge on a fixed fee basis, payable in advance to my Chambers Bank Account, and have a standard Mediation Agreement, which sets out the ground-rules for the Mediation, which must be signed by all parties and anybody else who attends the Mediation.
- With the exception of pre-mediation day Zoom calls, all Mediation days by Zoom will be conducted by me in Chambers at 1 EC Barristers in London between 10am to 5.30pm. See also: SOM Guide to Remote Mediation 2024.pdf (wildapricot.org)
