“It's a fabulous programme, and one we would all benefit
from attending.”
“If some business clients are doing this stuff anyway it is
essential that we as practitioners are able to engage with them.”

Core Mediation has been accredited as a mediation provider, the first Scottish
provider to be so recognised under a scheme which began in mid-December 2005.

Mediation numbers continue to grow
Core has already passed its 2005 mark for mediation days.
Recent weeks have seen an upsurge in matters being brought to mediation. The
cases involve some complex issues and high values. Nevertheless, many have been
resolved within hours, supported by excellent prior preparation by the lawyers
involved and enhanced by the value of face to face discussions by the key
principals in each party.
Recent examples have included roads engineering, banking,
education, auditing, the communications industry, professional bodies, warranties on company purchase, redundancy schemes, property
conditions, management and boardroom difficulties and estates management.
Our statistics show many repeat users among law firms,
individual lawyers and other organisations. The geographic spread is
wide-ranging. Click here to see our map of mediation locations and here for our map showing the location of solicitors involved.
