    Testimonials VIEW ALL

    • " I thank you for exhibiting your Mediation skills in this case and am satisfied that had it not been for the expertise that you showed throughout the Mediation process then this matter may well have not been resolved and may have continued to an expensive hearing."

      Patrick Currie, Solicitor - Addison O Hare Solicitors, Walsall

    • " The parties had become somewhat entrenched, the Court proceedings had not been pursued with any great vigour and there appeared to be no solution in sight. Our clients and us would like to thank you for assisting the parties in coming to a settlement on the day of the mediation and we would certainly recommend you to other solicitors."

      Natalie Wolfe, Solicitor - Beachcroft LLP, Leeds

    • " I was very pleased by your assistance in this matter having received a report back from Louise Campbell - Brown who was equally as complimentary. In fact I have recommended your services to at least two other commercial dispute clients and I may revert to you in respect thereof shortly."

      Paul Verlander, Partner - Carpenter & Co Solicitors, Surrey

    • " Although negotiations were difficult... a satisfactory result was founded at mediation. I thank you for your assistance, without which a fair resolution would not have been achieved. Eric Bowes are happy to recommend you to others."

      Gurbinder Gill, Associate Solicitor - Eric Bowes Solicitors, Birmingham

    • " I am writing regarding your recent involvement with Victim Support and the help which you gave us by providing a mediation service within our organisation. As you know, I had been experiencing some difficulties which were occupying a disproportionate amount of my time and which certainly required the intervention of an independent organisation in order to achieve an amicable resolution. I am pleased to tell you that your mediation has proved successful and that there has been positive feedback from the individuals concerned. I would like to thank you and am grateful for your urgent attention to my request for assistance. Should the need arise, I would be happy to utilise your services again."

      Victim Support - Yvonne Murray - HR Business Partner, Central England and Wales

    • " Harvinder's quiet but determined approach was the difference between the case settling or proceeding to a litigious end. This was a classic example of how to mediate a dispute."

      Jonathan Smith, Senior Associate - Eversheds LLP, Newcastle

    • " I genuinely believe that if it wasn't for your professionalism and assistance, the parties would not have settled on the day. My client informed me that he was extremely pleased with the outcome, I will certainly recommend you to other solicitors."

      Helen O Brien-Quinn, Solicitor - FBC Manby Bowdler Solicitors, Telford

    • " Had this case not have gone to Mediation it would have ended up before the High Court in London for trial by jury.

      Paul Balen, Partner - Freeth Cartwright LLP, Nottingham

    • " Thank you for acting as a mediator in this matter. I found you to be skilful and professional and your involvement certainly led to settlement of the dispute."

      Anthony Krikler, Solicitor - Gillhams Solicitors LLP, London

    • " ...You recently conducted a mediation... The issues related to a boundary dispute which had been ongoing for many years and which was headed inevitably towards very expensive litigation. My clients and I found you to be professional and effective and I am pleased that this very acrimonious matter has now settled. Thank you for your assistance I would not hesitate to recommend you to other firms."

      Greg Saunders, Solicitor - Hadens Solicitors, Walsall

    • " Should I need further assistance in the future, I will have no hesitation in recommending your services."

      Janette Johnston, Partner - Landons Solicitors, Essex

    • " This was a professional negligence case where there was a significant amount of ill feeling and I felt you controlled the position extremely well... I found your flexibility to be very useful in keeping down costs. As you know I was able to participate in the mediation by telephone which meant that my charge to the client was greatly reduced and in the end the matter was settled satisfactorily."

      John McArdle, Solicitor - McArdles Solicitors, Co. Durham

    • " Neither my client nor myself had been through a mediation process before and we would like to thank you for your assistance in helping us to reach a settlement. My client found you to be very fair and willing to take time to hear all our issues - sometimes in great deal. I believe that this helped diffuse any tensions that existed at the outset and assisted both parties in breaking free from entrenched positions to try and find a workable solution."

      Alex Kershaw-Moore, Senior Solicitor - Mendip District Council, Somerset

    • " My clients and I were impressed with the resilience, pre mediation preparation by you. I was also impressed with how you focused the parties on a solution and indeed facilitation of the same.

      Mukesh Murria, Managing Director & Solicitor, Murria Solicitors, Birmingham

    • " The request we received for instructions were clear and concise and were helpful in setting the agenda for the Mediation. The Mediation was conducted quickly and concisely, taking significantly less than a full day, due to the timing and tempo provided by the Mediator. Overall the Mediation was settled quickly between the parties, giving an effective and speedy resolution."

      Cliff Morris, Associate - Paris Smith LLP, Southampton

    • " After all this time we were able to reach a settlement with which both sides felt they had had some success, and therefore saved face, which negated the necessity for a very expensive two to three day trial. My clients were pleased with the outcome, did not feel browbeaten in anyway which I have seen in other mediations, and are therefore happy with the result."

      Elizabeth Spence, Lawyer - Pickering & Butters Solicitors, Stafford

    • " Your in-put in bringing the dispute to a palatable conclusion was very valuable indeed. Both myself and my colleague were struck by the tenacity that you showed in dealing with one of the parties' whose position had become particularly entrenched."

      Andrew Lund, Senior Partner - Rees Page Solicitors, Wolverhampton

      Ian Cox, Managing Partner - Sarginsons Law LLP, Coventry

    • " ...The sum of money being claimed was in excess of one hundred thousand pounds (£100,000). My client and I found you to be competent, friendly and professional throughout the whole process, and were delighted how quickly you were able to assist in facilitating settlement given the complexity and length of time the dispute had gone on."

      Gareth Jenkins, Solicitor - Standley & Co Solicitors, Solihull

    • " A party wall award had been appealed in the county court, and unfortunately both parties had racked up considerable legal fees, even prior to a final hearing of the matter. All parties were therefore concerned that no more unnecessary legal fees be expended. All of the outstanding issues were addressed and resolved through your mediation skills without which this dispute would have undoubtedly been listed for a final appeal hearing, thus still causing the parties considerable time, stress and expense. I would therefore like to thank you for your skill and help, and I would happily recommend you to other barristers, solicitors, and litigants in person."

      Stuart J. Frame, Barrister - Staple Inn Chambers, London

    • " The Claimant and Defendant had become entrenched and were no longer even on speaking terms. The costs which you undoubtedly saved both parties, in addition to the time and inconvenience, cannot be underestimated. My client was very impressed with both your attitude and manner during the whole process. Without your assistance I am confident that we would not have been able to reach settlement."

      Michelle Caney, Barrister at Law - St Ives Chambers, Birmingham

    • " My clients were delighted how quickly you were able to facilitate a satisfactory settlement, bearing in mind the significant amount of evidence that each party had put forward and the length of time our dispute had gone on."

      Rachel Sorensen, Solicitor - Wright Hassall Solicitors, Warwickshire

    • " Bearing in mind this dispute had been going on for nearly 2 years, you assisted us to facilitate a solution within a day... saving us the expense and time of a trial."

      Mr Abrar Nazir, Birmingham

    • " I found the mediation process to be quick, cheaper than going through litigation, and your mediation skills certainly were the reason for us being able to resolve the matter on the day."

      Elizabeth Lucas, Birmingham

    • " Having not attended a mediation before we were not exactly sure what to expect, however we found your approach comforting... we appreciate that you diffused a number of potentially deal breaking moments... and lead us to a solution which was agreeable to all... My wife and I wish to express our thanks to you for giving up your Saturday to mediate this dispute, bearing in mind it took all day, I would definitely use mediation again..."

      David Wilton - The Academy of Experts, London

      Steve Khela, Managing Director - SMS Computer Solutions, Birmingham

      Chris Benson, Principal Advice Officer - Sandwell Trading Standards, Sandwell

    • " I wish to put on record our gratitude to you for the patience and time given in order to reach this settlement."

      John Connolly, CEO - MortonConnolly, Bristol

      Mark Cutler - Himley Garden Buildings, Halesowen

    • " …we had two employees who had a number of issues with one another, stemming from a number of new changes which had been implemented, one being a senior member of the organisation…Lack of trust, suspicion and alleged ineffective communication were all key drivers which were fueling the dispute, alongside some underlying issues…overall, they found the process useful and constructive and you managed to resolve this year long dispute.

This then led to the manger making a formal complaint against a senior member of our organisation…not only were you the first to respond to our enquiry unlike some of your competitors, some who did not even respond, but as pre-mentioned you promptly set up the mediation and more importantly got the parties to settle. "

      William Parkinson, Vice Chair, YMCA, Coventry & Warwickshire

    • " I observed you mediate a very complicated three-party dispute yesterday...a business acquisition … the situation became untenable…directors instigated proceedings against the two consultants for £150,000. The parties were extremely difficult, driven by emotion & principles. It was a long day, with difficult conversations to be had, with both camps, which you did not shy away from, and handled sensitively, yet firmly … The dispute had been going on for over three years, but you somehow facilitated the process and got the parties to a settlement within seven hours. It is an understatement to say that your mediation skill set is impressive…"

      Steve Redman, Director, Legal Adviser & Accredited Mediator, - Essmar, West Sussex

    • " … complicated finance dispute over a credit agreement … against a well-known large defendant finance company... going on for years; the correspondence was substantial … claimant was uncompromising and not the easiest of personalities to manage… during the six hour mediation you diplomatically persuaded him to reflect on his own behaviour…with the defendant finance company and their solicitors…You were able to help him manage his expectations and eventually … both parties reached a settlement they all found acceptable. "

      Mike Faulkner FCII CIP, Managing Director & Accredited Mediator, - MyForte Solutions Limited, Warwickshire

It was a pleasure to watch a true expert mediate, and I must say I learnt a great deal. As a former employment judge, I was impressed by what you achieved. It went beyond what a court might hope to achieve. This mediation was a master class…it gave me something to aspire to."

      Daphne Thomas, Solicitor (non-practising), Former Employment Judge, - Advocacy Management, Hertfordshire

      Sarah Robinson, Associate Solicitor, Geraint Jones & Co, Newtown, Pows

    • " …my clients were very upset & sensitive about the dispute …hit an impasse more than once, including each side having made ‘bottom line’ offers. After some tense final negotiations, the parties reached a settlement (within five hours). I attribute that to the dogged determination with which you pursued a mediated agreement. You had previously conducted a mediation for a colleague in my team, which also resulted in a successful outcome. "

      Simon Thomas, Partner / Solicitor, - The Wilkes Partnership Solicitors, Birmingham

    • " …You have mediated three different disputes in which I was instructed, I am pleased to say that, on each occasion, all three disputes were resolved successfully…November 2008 neighbour / property dispute…November 2009 landlord & tenant… March 2017 commercial landlord & tenant matter…an ability to grasp the fundamental issues quickly, develop trust & confidence & quickly build rapport. Your fees were also very competitive…"

      Karys Eagle, Recruitment & HR, - Woodland Academy Trust, Kent

    • " Harvinder you were vital in reaching an agreement, which you somehow got us to within two and a half hours …I can move on with my life…I am not quite sure what you did or said to him in private, but it certainly worked, finally he started to make offers and to negotiate, which led to an amount which I could agree to."

      Mrs Elizabeth Monether DipPFS, Independent Financial Adviser, - Shropshire Independent Financial Services Ltd, Shrewsbury

    • " …thank you for bringing this three year dispute to a close within hours … claimant brought a sub lease which turned out to be a head lease…a fire damaged the premises…landlord refused to claim on the insurance policy…it was far from an easy matter …I would request your mediation services again & refer you to other law firms"

      Peter Fitzpatrick, Solicitor, - Valemus Law, London

    • " ...complicated commercial landlord tenant dispute. I do not know how the claimant was encouraged to make an apology but assume that it was a consequence of your intervention. After this the parties started to negotiate constructively...This amounted to a remarkable result achieving a settlement within about 7 hours, dispute that lasted for over 3 years...the second mediation concerned building work ....  was all the more impressive as it was a telephone mediation ... just as effective as a face to face mediation but at a significant reduction in costs."

      Tim Bennett, Solicitor, Partner, CEDR Accredited Commercial Mediator, Head of Department - Dispute Resolution, - Bray & Bray Solicitors, Leicester

    • " I was disappointed not to have reached an agreement, but feel that the mediator did everything possible to try and reach a solution. The whole process was made as simple and 'painless as possible' and I felt confident to confide in the mediator and discuss all matters of the case."

    • " It was a really useful and interesting observation ... One of the most valuable things I learnt was that it's possible and indeed necessary to be authentically yourself in one's practice as a mediator."

      Dr Naomi Elton BSc (hons), MBBS, MRCPsych, MSc, - Consultant Psychiatrist, London

    • " Would it be possible to observe another mediation with you when the opportunity arises?
