Delighted to announce that all nine of our mediators have been listed in Who’s Who Legal: Mediation 2018. According to Who’s Who their methodology is as follows:

‘Who’s Who Legal does not list law firms, only individual lawyers. The leading firms are those in each region whose listed practitioners received the most total nominations in our research. We highlight individuals at other firms who also scored very highly in our research.’
