Mediation Style

Mandy engages with people in crisis enabling them to stop focusing on conflict, and to start focusing on a positive future.  She is particularly skilled at helping the parties to see the wood, and not the trees.

Highly numerate, Mandy confidently crunches figures and has a real ability to present them at just the right level, whether it to be to CFOs of FTSE companies or to lay clients unaccustomed to working with numbers.

Mandy invests her considerable energy into each and every appointment. She clearly loves mediating, quickly builds a strong rapport with parties, solicitors, barristers and experts alike.

Often instructed on highly emotive disputes, Mandy works with empathy and kindness to help people find a solution that they can all live with.

Professional Background

Mandy is committed to reflective practice and to the development of mediation as a profession. This fits well with her role as a lead member of the CEDR Training Faculty, training mediators and mediation representatives in the UK and internationally. She became one of the first CMC Fellows, recognising her extensive experience and reputation within the sector. CMC Fellow status is reserved for those individuals who are leaders in the field, awarded for their outstanding contribution to the development of the profession.

Before becoming a full-time mediator, Mandy was Head of Real Estate Litigation at Clifford Chance. As a solicitor, Mandy had a wide-ranging commercial practice. She advised clients in the board room faced with business-critical disputes, supported financial institutions through the choppy waters following the collapse of Lehman, worked with property developers seeking to maximise asset value, landlords managing their portfolios and company directors struggling with the solvency of their company.

Corporate Social Responsibility

At each stage of her life, Mandy has sought roles within the community that maximise her contribution in light of the skills that she has to offer at the time. Over the years these have included a chess club for homeless people, acting pro bono as advocate for parents of children with Austism attending Special Educational Needs Tribunal, sitting as a Magistrate, acting pro bono as a civil mediator in order to support community mediation in Wandsworth and acting as a mentor to recently certified mediators. Mandy sits on the CMC's working group for civil mediation.

Mandy is a signatory of the World Mediators Alliance on Climate Chance Green Pledge (for more information see https://womacc.org).

Commercial Skills

Mandy understands the pressures on clients to make their business perform. As Head of Real Estate litigation at Clifford Chance, Mandy was responsible for budget, business development and marketing of a £3 million practice area, fee recovery, recruitment, training and development of the team. As Chair of the Board of a £1/3 million not for profit nursery school, Mandy guided the business safely through the Covid crisis.

Mandy's Testimonials

I have used an awful lot of mediators and participated in a lot of mediations. I have to say that Mandy was hugely impressive and I was very pleased. I will certainly be recommending Mandy Lenton again and will also make a point of recommending her to my peer group who are disputes partners at other major city firms.

Philip Young, Solicitor

Cooke, Young & Keidan

Mandy was excellent, her approach was no nonsense and lets get to work. She worked hard to secure a settlement which was acceptable to both parties in a limited amount of time

Camden Borough Council

It was a pleasure speaking with you yesterday and fantastic that we were able to reach such a speedy resolution with the complaint with an outcome that suited both [us] and [them]. I do hope that any future cases that we work together on can achieve such an outcome. I look forward to ... working with you again.
