Here you will find a list of our panel of mediators for clinical negligence and personal injury disputes.
We appreciate that at present, clinical negligence defence firms are obliged to use the Mediation Providers put forward by NHSR, but there is nothing to stop Claimant lawyers proposing us and our panel members as experienced mediators to the Defendant who should not unreasonably refuse to use us.
We have won awards for our personal injury mediation work such as the Mediation Achiever of the Year Award at the 2019 Personal Injury Awards.
