Mediation Services Reaches 6000 Clients Today

BIRMINGHAM, U.K. - Nov. 18, 2024 - PRLog -- I love what I do, at times it is extremely challenging don't get me wrong, but what job is not? As a mediator I spend the bulk of my days arranging mediation's, conducting mediation's, listening to clients in dispute, helping them to have very difficult and uncomfortable conversations.

Today marked a milestone, which filled me with delight. Our company mediated for our six thousandth client! To preserve confidentiality, I will not mention the parties' names, however I can detail the dispute, as that will not identify them, keeping them anonymous.

This was a probate matter between two siblings. It was alleged by the younger brother that the older brother had under duress made his late father leave him everything in his last will.

The estate was worth just over four million pounds, consisted of eight properties, savings, three luxury cars and five luxury watches. This meant the younger brother did not get his share, namely two million pounds. The brothers had been at each other's throats over this for over three years.

The family as a whole had been torn apart, as neither of their wives spoke to each other anymore. Which was a shame as they were the best of friends prior to all of this. None of their children (the cousins) were speaking, two of which had a physical fight. Which had stemmed from the dispute between their fathers, unfortunately the police had been involved, and the instigator was charged with common assault, a caution offence.

An extremely complex and emotional dispute, thankfully the solicitors representing the parties, were mediation friendly, and were of great assistance to me. Several shouting matches, swear words exchanged, joint and private meetings later, we settle.

Therefore, a dispute of three years, £52,000 spent on legal fees in total from the claimant and defendant, was settled through our http://effectivedisputesolutions.co.uk/mediation-services/ within ten hours. My thanks to the clients and the instructing solicitors on both sides, for placing their trust and confidence in me.
