Laurence's Testimonials

Laurence was extremely helpful. He was fully prepared for the case and had read all the papers. He had a thorough grasp of the case and the matters that needed to be resolved and showed great skill in keeping the negotiations on track. The mediation was very fluid and Laurence explained the process very thoroughly. His communication and negotiation skills were outstanding.

Veale Wasbrough Vizards LLP

Laurence spent time listening to the client’s concerns and remained professional throughout.  A settlement was achieved in circumstances where all parties considered it unlikely to happen.

Dunn & Baker

The clients were apprehensive about mediation in the first instance and queried whether anyone could bridge the gap which seemed quite wide, in order to reach a settlement.  And although settlement was not achieved during the mediation itself, if it had not been for the determination and calm approach taken by Laurence, the parties would not have ended the day so close to settlement, which was then finalised shortly afterwards.
